Well spotted, WendyEM (Wendy Moore)! Wendy is cited along with M. Hewish as doscumenting this undescribed species for Part 9, 'Proteuxoa sp.(17) 'pages 1/2, 2/2 for the publication Moths of Victoria. On page 1/2 set specimens recorded by I.F.B Common at the Black Mt CSIRO light trap, 19 April 1956 and at Burnley 3 April 1969, collector unknown,, are illustrated. The authors state the species is known from the ACT, NSW and Queensland. This record confirms the species is known from NatureMap's South Coast region at Tathra NSW.
A new species for NatureMapr and NatureMapr's South Coast region.

The Moths of Victoria authors (Part 9) have provided notes distinguishing this undescribed Proteuxoa sp.(17) as having ''broader, dark brown forewings than P microspila, contrasting white 'hair-pin' reniform marks and a white orbicular spot joined by a distinctive black triangular.mark'

Wendy, I do not think you would class it as alpine. Though I have not experienced it, snow may be a rarity. I have been there in frost at -5° and believe it may reach -10°

Nola paromoea

Looks like it might be an immature bird?
