It might be M. dubia, which has been recorded at Cowra. But hard to separate from M. coccophaga.

I reckon this is quite likely to be M. dubia given that the broken black line two thirds away along the costa matches images for the species on Bold Systems 4 and the ALA shows a widespread distribution for the species encompassing a record for the ACT; but when I looked the ALA showed no images.
