Wondering if this could be ‘Austroterpna undescribed species’ see Austroterpna undescribed species (A Geometer moth)

I agree the pair of daggers near the forewing tips are not usually found in M. anthracitaria, and are characteristic of Austroterpna species, but the post-medial forewing and hindwing lines of MOV Austroterpna sp1 look to me more jagged than in this specimen, and in M. anthracitaria.
