Similar to E. coracopas but this specimen lacks the white band in the antennae seen in several examples online. Perhaps the species is sexually dimorphic.

I agree we can only go with Genus. I asked Axel Kallies about this group via iNat
https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/208837654
"@kallies Hi Axel, Do moths in Scythrididae exhibit sexual dimorphism? If e.g. in very similarly marked moths - one has distinct colour bands on the antennae, the other has none, would this mean separate species?, variation? or dimorphism? Or too understudied to know?"

@wendyem I dont know too much about this group, have not noticed sexual dimorphism. But Eretmocera coracopis seems to be lacking the light scales if BOLD can be trusted"
