I think these records deserve to be kept separate from those of O. silvanus. Were they smaller than the usual silvanus?

No measurements were taken and it's hard to recall small variations accuratly. Should something like Oxycanus silvanus complex be created on CNM?

I've created Oxycanus unidentified species near silvanus, but it hasn't shown up on the drop down identification menu yet.

is the Oxycanus silvanus on P37 Moths in the ACT correct? It's not really light in colour.

Yes, I believe it's the right species, but perhaps the photo is browner than ideal.
