Thallarcha albicollis
With a wing span of about 25 mm this handsome moth had beautiful crossed patterns of black and brown on its fore wings and a black band on the thorax. Antennae were feathered suggesting that this was a male moth.
Spotted under bright lights on after a warm afternoon. http://bie.ala.org.au/species/Thallarcha...
