The moth is worn, but I have suggested P. amaurodes rather than P. capularis because there is a black collar visible on the facial disc of the thorax, whereas that feature is absent in P. capularis. The moth is bulky in shape cf p. capualris and there is more of a slope to the reniform mark and the hint of black smudging along side it which is a featire of that species. See notes for both species on supporting for Moths of Victoris (Part 9).
