Don, I think the black at the base of the forewing of Zonopetala melanoma discounts it as a match for my specimen.

@ibaird Dear Ian, my humblest apologies; in consultation with Peter Mackey, who also could not place this to a genus, the sex was confirmed as a female. Peter noted “The pectinations of the antennae would be much longer in a male” and “in the anal shot of the tuft, right in the middle you can see a bare patch which when enlarged looks like the tip of the papillae anales which are at the tip of the female abdomen and are not usually protruded (perhaps she was emitting pheromones); if this were a male and could see the tip of the abdomen you would see the claspers which are part of the genitalia”.

Noctuoidea (superfamily)
