11058 - Heliothodes diminutiva
... based on white spot in forewing basal area and pale marking near outer margin. I don't think they are planning on surprising us with a new species in this group in the forthcoming (a year???) MONA Fascicle.

Schinia I think
Noctuid moth in the genus Schinia but you will need to await someone familiar with the western fauna to get it to a species

Eutricopis?

Heliothine, anyway
I see they have several genus names for things that look like Schinia to me. See the Moth Photographers Group Plate for Eutricopis. This looks like it could be E. nexilis, but I don't know how many other things look like this.
