Ipanica cornigera AGARISTINAE NOCTUIDAE
This is apparently the only species in the genus Ipanica. There have been samples collected in Western Australia, Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria. there is also a recording in South Australia very close to the intersection of the borders of Qld, NSW and SA.Wikipedia also says Tasmania but the Atlas of Living Australia does not record it there.
Although other AGARISTINAE often fly during the day, Moths of Australia (I.F.B Common 1990) records Ipanica cornigera as being mainly nocturnal, and this is consistent with what I have seen here.
Wing span 30mm approx.
Family:- NOCTUIDAE
Sub Family:- AGARISTINAE

The second moth in this photo is probably Achyra affinitalis PYRAUSTINAE CRAMBIDAE
