Possibly T, diatoma based on the one LBH image, There are at three other species of Australian Tritymba (genus) to be seen on Bold Systems 4 which are moths of a similar shape with a longitudinal white stripe on a black ground. But I have found no live photographs on line which match this specimen well. Tritymba in life mainly seem to show forward pointing antennae which this speciment does not show.
