OK I've dug out Mon. Aust. Lep. Vol. 13 Hawkmoths of Australia by Moulds, Tuttle & Lane CSIRO 2020 p.50 " Acosmeryx anceus anceus differs from A. cinnamomea in having the forewing discal spot white and always visible, whereas in A. cinnamomea it is either absent or, if present, brown, although sometimes paler towards the centre, rarely approaching white; and the outer margin of the forewing usually has the broad subapical crenulations as deep as the apical one, whereas in A. cinnamomea it is usually far more shallow."
