Yes,apparently Eochrois caminias is the best guess, supported by views expressed on iNaturalist (P. Hendry and Victor Fazio); but if correct clearly a variable, and/or perhaps sexually dimorphic speces. (I had looked at E. caminias but wasn't convinced initially).

Hi Lisa. Have you a verified source which identifies a case like this as belonging to the species Ardiosteres moretonella?

I have usually attributed Canberra based records of P. arabella as apparently 'Philobota undescribed species near arabella' out of deference to the text and photographs of the similar undescribed species as described on page 64 of 'Moths in the ACT' (Cocling et al 2022), The photographs there showing the observed variation locally I think are essentially indistiguishable from this record on sight alone.

The dark spots on the forewing are apparently not always visible in similar specimens.

There are several quite similar Oenochroa (genus) species, but yes I agree that Oenochroa lactella is probably a better fit, based for example, on this record:-
