Specimen collected for Glenn. I thought it looked like an unusual H. translattela but I see now that it was H. distephana.

Yes its seems I created a new H. distephana entry which appears in the top RHS drop down menu and I got feedback saying it was created but it put in the Uncategorized species category. i don't see it there or in the Concealer taxonomy. I will report it and 'see whether michaelb can resolve this for us.

Hi everyone, I have moved it into Concealer moths, the bug has been reported but is not yet resolved for future new species. Apologies, it will be fixed.
