I don't think 4371341 and 4368447 are Epyaxa. There are similarities in the shape of the main wiggly lines/bands, but they are thicker on these records and the colouring looks different. But I didn't find them in a scan of Chrysolarentia and Melitulias.

OK, they do look somewhat more or less consistently different, I suppose. But I reckon 4368447 has quite a different line for the boundary between the first white broad band nearest the base and the first black band. There is a lot of variation in E. subidaria visible online.

I agree C. persimilis is correct.
Thanks for this. Chrysolarentia persimilis was placed in error in Ă“ther Shrubs'again by the system. I've notified michaelb who will correct the problem My hypothesis (unproven) is that this happens when two moderatorres try to add a new speciessimultaneously,
