Might be A. thysogona - apparently the only Anisogona (genus) species (on the Bold Hobern evidence) which lacks the convex costa and convex forewing outer margins. The first image here shows a very concave costa also evident in the second image.. I'm not sure

Anisogona thysanoma

On a second thpughts. I agree this is not. M. ursina, but I'm not sure it is E postvittana either notwithstanding E. postvittana is apparently highly variable in appeareance This moth is very broad across the forewings and seems to have markiings at the base of the forewing which M. postvittana lacks. A different species in the Epiphyas (genus)?
