I'm not confident of the Psaroxantha undescribed species ID. Looking at all the sightings we have under Psaroxantha undescribed species, Psaroxantha calligenes and Psaroxantha basilica, they all seem to be a bit mixed up and I don't think I can tell them apart :-(

correlates with images on iNat [Research Grade] and ALA of Eochrois acutella. Not so with BOLD images however. https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations?taxon_id=714698 https://bie.ala.org.au/species/https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/9826cb1f-5a9a-4b56-8656-0ff32abd8894#gallery https://portal.boldsystems.org/bin/BOLD:AAE3024

this moth resembles Plectobela sp. The size and shape of the brown ring is closest to P. ecliptica but all those illustrated on BOLD (Hobern) have a brown patch on the thorax. P zanclotoma does not have this patch but the ring on the wing is smaller.
Plectobela (genus)
