While both Moths of Victoria, part 3 and Lepidptera Butterfly House name this species as Chrysolarentisa microcyma, i have followed the current practice of the ALA and the Australian Faunal Direcory and identified it as 'Unplaced microcyma"

Ian, where is this located on AFD? I can't find the species name anywhere there. It's in the Checklist under Chrysolarentia.

If I type in 'Unplaced microcyma' into the AFD search box online the resu.lt is this:-

Ta, I made the old mistake of searching on the species name only without % marks. I've found no explanation by googling
