Looking at O. gelidus on the ALA it has a distinctive antennae fine structure under magnification with a sharp original photo to work with. In Photoshop I could not see that structure here. However on second thoughts, the moth is worn, and is reasonably consistent with a plain O. gelidus.

Not Oncopera genus as for
Elhamma australasiae (A Swift or Ghost moth (Hepialidae))
pr is that species better classified as Oxycanus (genus) too?
