The nearest that I can get to this is Black Geometrid (Melanodes anthrocitaria) ?
This is a “Down Under” species, the larvae of which feed on Eucalyptus!
The BG’s appear to have a scalloped edge to the wing, the subject moth doesn’t appear to have this?
However males of the species are correct for size 4cm.
Dunno…..

I thought size and bigger rounder head were not good for PBB rosaria?
Here’s another image for size, don’t know if this helps or hinders?
Cheers
