It looks very different to the other photo of Hoplomorpha camelaea on CNM. Can they vary so much in pattern?

No,, Piloprepes anassa is correct and it is a new species for CNM, but for some reason the CNM system will not currently allow me to confirm the suggestion. I also fail to see Pilopress anassa in the Taxonomy under Concealer moths. Atlthough the Administration dashboarrd says donhe has added P. anassa to the Taxonomy I cannot find it under Concealer moths, I also currently don't have access to the Taxonomy to correct any error. I have reported the problem via the CNM report form. 9:10 pm 7/11/2020.
