New species record for CNM. 'Intricate Bark Moth'. Apparently also formerly known as Selidosema leucoplecta (eg. Moths of Victoria, Part 7) although I cannot double-check its taxonomic staus due to lack of access to the Australian Faunal Directory. See also:- https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/526925 See also the ALA https://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:biodiversity.org.au:afd.taxon:81cf9624-8804-41c9-add1-1c9829751af1 Also:- http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/enno/leucoplecta.html
