Certainly I agree it's likely to Xylorycta (genus), but given there are several very similar looking species in this genus, I'm personally unable to be sure it's this suggested species. I note there are only a few records of this species from life online mainly from southern Victoria, so it would appear this record would extend the recorded distribution significantly.

S. Vic. sp is probably why I'm drawn to that sp.. Looking again I can see yellow on the fringe which may move ID of sp.
