a W.A. species. What eyespot?
I can't see the issue with calling this Abantiades (Trictena) atripalpis on the basis of Moths of Victoria Pt. 6. This would fall into the "Smaller reticulated form:- males with dark antennae" CD p. 4-5

On the forewing, there is a picture of swirling water with a fish with a white pointed nose, a white back, a brown striped belly, and a half -shut blue eye.
No eye on A. atripalpis.

I don't see and 'eyespot' as in A. ocellatus, a WA species The male antennae strongly suggest A,.(Trictena) atripalpis to me based on MoV Part 6. 'Art is in the eye of the beholder'
