Olbonoma leptospila
A 10 mm long moth with mostly white wings. It had brown patterns on the posterior half of the fore wings, two dark spots on either wing and a brown "V" at the base of the wings.
Legs were cream coloured. Labial palps were white and re-curved.
Spotted flying around the trees and then landed on an acacia wattle.
Thanks to Mark Ridgway for the ID. The one in the reference site is a little worn out.

Hi Stephen ! Don't know if it's a new one - at first glance I thought it might be easy to ID but can't find anything similar.
A new one? Nice find.
