User's notes

While Possible a Xylorycta sp. similar to the N.QLD Xylorycta moligera, in which the face/collar are more whitish and the forewing mark is better defined; I think a better fit is the unnamed Pilostibes sp. ANIC1 on BOLD

Certainly does look like an un-named Pilostibes (genus) species as also seen on the ALA.
