I understood the MoV authors (Part 9) think of it as a species complex, suggesting there are two major forms at least with male and female versions. The forewing pattern suggested Proteuxoa, capularis to me, but clearly it;s not that species.

Looking at Bold Systems 4, I don't think E. phoeneura (northern Australia) or E. signata(southern Ausytralia) seem to match. However, a search for 'Epicoma Tasmania; revealed many specimens for E. melanospila which I suggest match well, including examples with broad black forewing margins, yellow highlights and a prominent white 'face'..
Epicoma melanospila
