NOW, I am very happy!! Good job!
There is a good suggestion by G Cocks. I am going with that. http://www.bowerbird.org.au/observations/20965 https://www.flickr.com/photos/dhobern/2911255120/in/set-72157607370282109
Thanks for looking bayucca. I think the Peritornenta genus is closest. P. circulatella is a bit different and probably out of range. You would expect this distinctive pattern would be easy to find.
Depressariidae? Peritornenta sp.?? Not really happy with Peritornenta circulatella, although colors and shape are nicely matching, however, the markings not really... http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/depr/circulatella.html http://www1.ala.org.au/gallery2/v/Depressariidae/Peritornentacirculatella/peritornenta_circulatella_01.jpg.html I did not find another similar family, not even Nolidae...
