I note the Australian Faunal Directory and the ALA recognises Rhuma argyraspis but not Sterictopsis argyraspis. Both species are in the Canberra Nature Map taxonomy. I suggest we merge all records into R. argryraspis.

Thanks Ian. Taxonomy moves on quickly. I wonder has there been a revision of the 2007 book 'A Guide to Australian Moths' by Zborowski and Edwards?

Zborowski and Edwards was reprinted with corrections in 2017. That's the version i use.
