I don't think this is Artiastis ptochopa. The specimens on BOLD https://bold-au.hobern.net/specimens.php?taxid=407392 have pairs of dots as their markings, not lines and chevrons like above. The closest match I have found is Oenochroa sp but none are an exact fit.

I expect/hope we stumble over an ID one day. I do review these general IDs at times as I learn more.
