'i'm not convinced its A. l. acronyctoides. there is a similarly worn example of the species at;
Aedia leucomelas acronyctoides (Eastern Alchymist, Sweet Potato Leaf Worm or Sorcerer)
i do not think the fine line markings which are visible here match those on that example at 338370.

The dark markings look to be in the wrong places for Australia's 3 Craniophora species.
Calathusa dispila ?

Given this is quite a worn specimen, I thought that this moth is a reasonable match for the fine detail of Craniophora fasciata (ALA) or Fascionycta fasciata (iNaturalist). I'm not sure the dark markings are always reliable.
