I'm not convinced ita O. fugalis. Lacks the jagged markings, concave costa and outer forewing edge pattern

Photogrphs from life often look different to set specimens. I think the overall shape eg. head and eyes looks very much like Catomola (genus) to me.

Donald's photo has only vestiges of the white lines. Maybe the white lines wear off easily, and this is a fresh specimen?

Added Catamola xanthomelalis to CNM., and CNM says Catamela xanthomelas already exists, but neither comes up in Quick Search !

Looks OK from where I'm sitting. Such issues can be reported directly to Aaron Claasen or michaelb.
