Probably a Garrha species but there are so many similar moths that I'm not sure.

Yes, the moths lacking the post medial fascia seem to be quite common. Both forms are illustrated in 'Moths in the ACT', G. Cocking et al (2022), p. 66.

Thanks, Ian & Don, I was having trouble agreeing with your assessment, as all images on Bold and in Common, 1997 (Oec.II) show a pre medial fascia; until I read the original description.

"The variation of this species in the occasional presence of an
anterior fascia which is usually wholly absent is quite singular, but
I have no doubt that the two forms really constitute a single
species ; the difference is not sexual."

A new species for NatureMapr and NatureMapr's Canberra and Southerm Tablelands region. I note the species is probably sexually dimorphic with the other form looking very similar to several Garrha species.
