I think that this might be Psilosticha attacta Ian, what do you think? Main line on hind wing looks very straight to me.

Yes, I think you are correct. Looking at the files on Moths of Vic Pt. 7 CD the mostly straight dark main line on the hindwings is the distinguishing feature for Psilosticha attacta.
