According to: https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/posts/61846-hypena-masurialis-in-australia this should now be called Hypenia obacerralis @donhe @ibaird @GlennCocking (at least until this is properly sorted out)

We usually follow the Australian Faunal Directory and the ALA's practice. As far as I can see the AFD and the ALA don't recognise H. obacerralis, but they call M. masuaralis a valid name for Rhynchina obliquarlis which they also recognise. I stand to be corrected of course!

OK I changed the name to conform to AFD, but CNM will not let me change the synonym !

I understood we had agreed not to use synomyms!

They are a minefield, like Eurema hecabe has 32 in the Checklist.
