The CNM notes for Pseudanapaea (genus) says there 3 Pseudanapaea species known to occur in the ACT, but that it is not practical toto distinguish them as live specimens. A majority of those seen seem to have white markings like this one. However the only Pseudananpaea species illustrated in 'Moths in the ACT' (Cocking at al 2022) p. 129 is called Pseudanapaea tranvestita. It looks similar, but lacks the white markings.
