          Great Christine. It looks like Kay had trouble finding images too. This moth seems to be very under reported. Posted 4 years ago

            Hmm. Maybe, but I don't see any with the black spots along the costa in the genus Therinia. I generally trust Andreas' IDs because they got so much visibility, including expert attention. But, perhaps the person that suggested Therinia sp. to you is knowledgeable and knows something that we don't. I can't say either way, but I still vote for Opisthoxia lineata because the 2 online images are remarkably similar to yours, while I can't find any in the genus Therinia that are as close.

                  Yes absolutely and the best evidence so far is what you supplied. Posted 4 years ago

      Genus Therinia has now been suggested. Any opinions here on that? Posted 4 years ago
