I've had a look at MoV, part 6 page 5 at Lophocorona. These moths are much smaller than that species, about half the size. They apprear very fresh at the moment and seemed to me to be sticking to that pomedarris, rather than nearby cassia etc. etc.

Photos showing the hindwings would be good, and close ups of the head. If you can capture one and put it to sleep in the fridge, it might be easier to photograph .
