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 contrasting whitish broad inner band on the forewing. It could be argued that whitish broad inner band in this specime is not strongly contrasting enough with the rest of thre forewing to be T. flexirena. Hitchcock et al 2018 said that such non-contrasting specimns should be classified as T. verecunda.
