This moth sub-category for the superfamily Noctuoidea contains the large families Noctuidae and Erebidae as well the smaller Euteliidae, Nolidae, Notodontidae and Oenosandridae. The Arctiinae also belong to this superfamily, but are distinctive and well known so are given their own moth sub-category

Don and Ian, I believe the yellow/orange and black striped abdomen precludes this from Nycteropa

Nycteropa subovalis

I suggest Proteuxoa hydraecioides based on purplish colour, banding in collar, small distinct obicular spot and shape of reniform mark (although this specimen lacks really long tail like some have but see examples on MoV CD page 3)

Proteuxoa hydraecioides
