I think the spacing of the anal vein on the forewing is too wide for H. cramboides, and is more like the western species H. atrilinea !!

This is a widespread species across mainland Australia. Moths of Victoria (Part 9) state that is a variable species. I'm happy this sighting falls within the variatiion I see online in photos of this species.
A new species for the NatureMapr region of Canberra and Southern Tablelands.
Excellent photos.

This moth is stunning - the wings look like stained glass panels!
