I don't think it is S. chiasta. Could it be Scoparia philonephes which has a dark line along the middle of the wing? See this one https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/715293-Scoparia-philonephes

OK, I see your point. S. philosophenes is likely a better match.
A new species for NatureMapr's Canberr and southen tablelands region. Nice photos.
