I think this could be Leuroperna sera - not posing correctly (antennae forward) as it is dead. The markings on forewings match (although one is a bit more rounded than it should be) and I can see some of the appropriate bands on the antennae. The live ones don't have such fuzzy heads but it can be seen on some. Does it have curved palp(s) ?

I don't think it is Erechthias acontotypa. That species comes from b/w Townsville & Cairns and seems to be in flux (ID/name)

Not Erecthias (genus). I think, but I.m not convinced its L. sera. The antennae [ook wrong at the base and they do not clearly show two black bands.
