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

I thought P. argotoxa has a broader/stronger white band and bolder/stronger dots compared to above.

However, if you look at the ones on https://bold-au.hobern.net/specimens.php?taxid=187901 there is a break between the dark line along the costa and the patch/loop of dark brown around the apex. Is that moth (Noosa) on butterflyhouse site this species???
Philobota ancylotoxa
