iNat has a moth rather like this as Scioglyptis lithenopa
https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/taxa/1398986-Scioglyptis-lithenopa
HOWEVER it is not listed on ALA
https://bie.ala.org.au/species/https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/59821da4-ef00-4241-84d5-ce2c16f14ebf#classification
in the Checklist of Australian Lepidoptera p. 208 there is "NO AVAILABLE GENUS........ lithinopa (Meyrick, 1892) (Scioglyptis)" NOTE the species is spelt differently to iNat
