Looking at the species iNaturalist recognises, this moth to my eye looks most like N. topazias, yet the Australian Faunal Directory does not recognise that species. The ALA lists N. topazias as: 'Nemophora topazias Meyrick, 1893 (accepted name: Nemophora laurella)',

Nemotois topazias Meyrick, 1893 is considered by AFD to be a junior synonym of Nemophora laurella (Newman, 1856).
