Alternatively, try OLETHREUTINAE subfamily in TORTRICIDAE family:-
1. Look it up on Lepidoptera Butterfly House online.
2. Check out Moths in the ACT (book)
3. Do a search on Atlas of Living Australia online
4. Search Australian Moths on Line (CSIRO).
5. Do a search on iNaturalist (Australia) online.
6. Do a search on Bold Systems.4 online
For starters!
