Looking at the Moths of Victoria visual key to Oxycanus (accompanying disc to Part 6) which is based on antennae shape, form and colour this does not match O. sylvanus. O. sylvanus antennae are a straw yellow colour:-
Male: Oxycanus silvanus (Pale Oxycanus)
Female: Oxycanus silvanus (Pale Oxycanus)
The antnnae here are brown and a better match to O. dirempta.
