Can we really distinguise the two Anestia species?

Probably not but from Moths in the ACT, the one in Canberra is most likely to be Anestia semiochrea and the controversy seems to be that the two may well be the same and this will only be resolved by DNA analysis. The names on CNM may well have to be changed when this is known but until then, why not live dangerously!
