Alison: of the 350 Australian named species of Psychidae, why do you ascribe this particular larva and its case to the genus Psychanisa? Did you rear it to get an identifiable adult moth, or is there some description in the literature or photo on the web that leads you to this association?

Hi Don. No reason. It just looked the closest in the species list on CNM.
