Noctuoid moths (except Arctiinae)
This moth sub-category for the superfamily Noctuoidea contains the large families Noctuidae and Erebidae as well the smaller Euteliidae, Nolidae, Notodontidae and Oenosandridae. The Arctiinae also belong to this superfamily, but are distinctive and well known so are given their own moth sub-category

Thank you for that, I'll look out for some more if the weather holds. First one of these I've had

Thanks for the P. adelopa suggestion. I think its a contender, more so than P. leptochroa which I looked long and hard at too, if only because the reniform mark has a slight reddish tiinge as here:-

However, looking at the the two pages for P. adelopa for Part 9 on the supporting disc, i also note the iNaturalist examples also show a white orbicular spot towards the forewing base there and in many odf th e iNaturalist examples which seems to absent in this specimen. Also P. adelopa elsewhere apparently lacks the black 'collar' behind the head apparent here. However, I must say the black dots along the costa seem to match P. paratorna.

OK , having got my access back to MoV, and having a look at images on iNaturalist. maybe Proteuxoa adelopa is a better fit. distribution suggests it could be possible here

excellent record. Keep your eyes peeled for more. At the time of publication of Moths of Vctoria Part 8 in 2017 only 6 specimens had been found in the ANIC, Museum Victoria and several private collections.
