This specimen of Dysbatus appears to lack the curved black line which extends from the wingtip almost to outer tranverse line on the forewing which is said to be diagnostic for D.stenodesma.. This black line is clearly visible in the image for D. stenodesma shown on Lepidoptera Butterfly House and the images labelled D.stenodesma on the ALA webpage for the species, see
http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/naco/stenodesma.html
Moths of Victoria have provided a key tp identifying Dysbatus spp. on a pdf file which they send to subscribers to update and augment the CD which accompanies their Moths of Victoria Part 5. After following their suggested ID criteria, I suggest our specimen above would be better identified as the unnamed Dysbatus species called 'Dysbatus sp. (1)'.

Yes, close to Dysbatus sp. ANIC1 on BOLD.

Yes, the photo shows only a limited black line extending on from the forewing apex, so it is Dysbatus sp. (I'm sorry I got it wrong earlier by reversing the species that have the longer line.) But it isn't Dysbatus sp. ANIC1 which is a label given by the barcoders to a group of ANIC specimens from WA that had been separated from Dysbatus singularis. BOLD has left one of the sampled specimens as sp. ANIC1, others have been identified as D. singularis. It's best to call it Dysbatus sp (as it was originally on CNM),as use of labels like "spn" can be ambiguous.

No worries Glenn. Thanks for the clarification. My first inclination was to
leave it as Dysbatus sp. 1 as I originally posted, but I thought it worthwhile to test whether the ANIC1 epithet would stand scrutiny.
