I could only find this as Proteuxoa verecunda on ALA, is that right?

A taxonomic review has occurred. We are following the example of the recently published Moths of Victoria (Part 9) in adopting the findings of the review:
Bobbie Hitchcock, Edward Edwards, and Andrew Mitchell (2017).. Integrating dots and spots with COI sequence data reinstates Thoracolopha Turner, 1939 (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), for 13 Australian species formerly in Proteuxoa Hampson, 1903,
Austral Entomology, October 2017.
See the entry for T. verecunda on Lepidoptera Butterfly House.
