The first sighting for this species on natureMapr'ss South Coast region site if confirmed , although it was anticipated it would be recorded in the region. The four spots on the forewing distinguish it from Alathapsa malacella. Nice photos,

Thank you for taking the time to look at this more closely. I'll be interested to hear what you think it is.

Iagree, most seem not to look like this.
This record also appears on the ALA: https://biocache.ala.org.au/occurrences/0250bab3-4504-468f-8d3d-7487fc990606

This moth looks quite different to other Aeolothapsa malacella moths. I think it might be a different species.
