I am sorry it has taken so long. Sadly Oxycanus are hard to tell apart and identify to species level using only wing pattern. It is a handsome moth.

ditto many of this group incl. O. australis and O. dirempta. I was looking at examples on BOLD, iNat (Research grade) and Moths of Victoria and trying for the best match I could find for the colour, markings and antennae. Location may be too far north for this sp. I had thought it was close enough.
