Philobota atmobola ?

Perhaps P. atmobola. But how do we reliably tell this apparently sexually dimorphic (or a species with a "northern form') species from P. impletella when it occurs locally?

In view of this problem, following Common : I suggest we change the name 'Philobota impletella' to 'Philobota impletella Group', which then will include P atmobola, P. auxolyca,, P. pedetis, and P. pyrota, as well as P. impletella.

OK seems a good approach to me. Will you make the change?
