This moth has the general look of Nomophila corticalis but the markings don't fit that sp.

@ibaird @WendyEM It has come to my attention that this species has been misidentified in Australia. Glyphodes actorionalis was named by Walker from North Hindostan and the Celebes, and is not this species. It has been worked out on iNats that it is Glyphodes eurygania Druce, 1902, named by Druce from Port Morsby, NG. Australian species named actorionalis are in the same Bin on BOLD as eurygania. Glyphodes eurygania is not in the AFD
