This moth has previously been identified as a Barea sp. (see sighting 4421046) but I'm not convinced.

I do not think this matches B. bathrocorda,

Also it has been suggested as B. codrella, see Sighting No 4607133

I don't think it's B. cordella either. It's a very distinct moth also identical to sightings 4421046 and 4613428. Has to be a separate species, I think.

Yes, I now think this species has not been matched to a known species.
