Cirrhochrista aetherialis lacks the russet markings on the abdomen, wing markings are paler and smaller.

Cirrhochrista brizoalis has fine peppering to larger patterns of dots over the wings. The shape of the coloured markings on the thorax is different It has a line running from each eye, joining 1/2-way down thorax, white on head and between these lines. (Cirrhochrista sp. AAI4047 - white head and coloured line down centre of thorax.

@donhe : Don, aetherialis has a white abdomen. While in brizoalis the triangular fascia near the apex on the forewing joins the triangular fascia near the apex on the termen often only by a series of faint dots or dashes.
There is a lot about aetherialis and brizoalis I cannot fathom. In the literature aetherialis is often shown as a synonym of brizoalis. In fact, the GloBiz website has it as such. The AFD only has aetherialis even though the type location for brizoalis is given as Hong Kong and “Moreton” Bay
