I think the thorax is wrong, for Eulechria convictella, particularly the dark band surrounding it, in my specimen.

also does not fit, the thorax of Eulechria rhymodes is described as "Thorax dark purple-fuscous, posteriorly narrowly pale greyish-ochreous."
A good example of this is the 4th image from the left. https://boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?searchMenu=taxonomy&query=+Eulechria+rhymodes&taxon=+Eulechria+rhymodes

I agree that the dark collar of E. convictella is not mentioned by Walker, but the 3 BOLD specimens show it.

If so , not as distinct as my specimen, they also show a whitish head, not convinced it is E. convictella

I still like E. rhymodes but I see a dark thorax (not obviously dark purple fuscous), but with an apparent pale grey posterior margin in several iNaturalist examples. See
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/197202432
The mapped iNaturalist distribution includes SE Queensland.

A good match for my specimen but not research grade and being on iNats does not make it correct
