  1. How about Sericochroa/Ginaldia? The taxonomy is a bit confusing, but it seems like some/many/all of the Sericochroa species are now in the genus Ginaldia, some with the species name also changing.

    For example, these are listed as Sericochroa:
    https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/200137643
    https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/246472798
    https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/197882343

    The last link above suggests Sericochroa marcidana with this reference link:

    But, here it shows that Sericochroa marcidana is now listed as Ginaldia perilleus, which is a very difficult species to find photos of with that genus/species name combo:
