Hi @Youning
I'm not sure what the aff. means. Apologies for not understanding this.
Is Bobilla aff. victoriae exactly what I should be classifying these as? If so, should I change B. victoriae in our system to B.aff. victoriae?
Or should it just be Bobilla victoriae?

Bobilla aff. victoriae means that this species resembles Bobilla victoriae, but is thought more likely to be another species. Bobilla "victoriae" is the most common Bobilla species associated with the ACT grassland. I believe Otte misidentified those common ACT/NSW Bobilla as Bobilla "victoriae" in his 1983 monograph. I never identified genuine Bobilla victoriae around ACT so would suggest to change it from Bobilla victoriae to Bobilla aff. victoriae.
