I am suggesting C. insulata because the wing pattern (i.e the bars joining the two dark rows on either forewing) looks consistent with images of females labelled as such on the supporting disc of Chyrsolarentia species which accompanies Part 3 of Moths of Victoria. We know that the AFD recognises distinct C.correlata and C. insulata species, but Bold Systems suggests they may be one species i.e C. insulata.

Trying to differentiate C. correlata and insulata probably isn't practicable, but in any case I'm confident this record is the same species as those already on CNM identified as correlata. They are all coming from similar places reasonably high in the Brindabellas. I don't think the bar joining the two dark rows on the forewing is diagnostic, as it is both present and absent in the specimens held under correlata in ANIC.

OK, thanks - but I'm not sure what we should do at this stage, if anything, as a result. Clearly a revision of the species would be desirable, but perhaps not a high priority. I am happy to revert to C.correlata for this specimen on CNM based on the ANIC evidence, but I would like to see my above comment preserved.also!

I suggest putting it together with the others under correlate. We can always split them if we learn more. I think all comments are automatically preserved?

If they are the same, then Chrysolarentia insulsata (Guenée, 1857) would be the senior synonym for
Chrysolarentia correlata (Walker, 1862), so perhaps we should class them as the former, pro tem.

Hi Guys
While C. correlata has been suggested, C. insulata was not "Undone". So it is still recorded as C. insulata.
Yes to above question, all comments are preserved.

OK, I moved it to correlata. Another point about insulsata is that the museum specimens attributed to it are all from western Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania, not the SE mainland.
