The previous most southerly record (in iNat, BOLD, and ALA) of Chezala conjuctella appears to be Sydney.
User's notes
Wing spot looks the same as previous sighting, but head is white and eyes red? Are these male and female of same species, or different species?

This moth;shead is quitedifferent to P. xiphistola: no yellow, no dark 'collar'. There is a black spot on the forewing.

Prionocris sp.? Some have varieties with a single dark spot in the forewing.

Thank you. Is this the southern most recording? I can only look at ALA, and am wondering what the records you have access to indicate/
