Olbonoma leptospila
A 12 mm long white moth with tented wings and a pale yellow head. The trailing margins of the fore wings had a pale brown fringe and two light brown bands with blurred margins running from the tornus to the costa. Each wing also showed two small black patches.
The thorax had a thin dark posterior margin.
Labial palps were recurved.
Spotted on a black wattle in a suburban nature reserve.
