Given the moth moderator's joint decsion to re-classify P. flexirena sightings as T. flexirena to follow Hithhcock, Edwards amd Mitchell's 2018 revision of the Proteuxoa spp. I propose we re-classify this sighting at T. flexirena. It shows the very dark crescent reniform mark characteristic of the species as descibed in Moths of Victori Part 9 page 2/3 for the species and the pale grey narrow inner band within the strongly contrasting whitish broad inner band on the forewing.
