If have looked in Dichromodes (genus) and Chrysolarentia (genus) without finding a match. Specimen has a distinctive major 'bulb' in the forewing main line but it is smooth and rounded without any 'minor peaks'. Chrysilarentia seems most likely, perhaps C, imperviata which seems hihly varuable, but this moth has an orange hindwing.

I think this moth looks just like a greyer version of Sighting No. 4424794. Both moths have been tentatively identified as Chrysolarentia (genus). Both observations have been made near the ACT/NSW border at high elevation within a short distance of one another. I think a deliberate visit to this area might reveal further eveidence of a small population of moths of this genus which may be poorly known or new. It would be interesting to see check whether the ANIC has holdings of this species. Both photographed specimens show orange hindwings,

After discussion with Glenn Cocking today (7/12/22) and reference to ANIC there is a good case for suggesting both this sighting and 4424794 are C. heliacaria after all, given Glenn says there seem to be no alternatives. However this is a grey looking specimen whereas most C. heliacaria are orange brown overall. Glenn says there is considerable variation present in the species.
