  Wow Ernst, that is fascinating! I'm in contact with Rob de Vos, a leading expert in Papua Moths whom is also interested in this moth and suspected it might be undescribed. I'll update him with your assessment, to me it indeed looks like that genus, likely specifically Barantola pulcherrima.
  
  A pretty bizarre case of co-evolution if these genuses are disconnected? Posted one year ago
