he ALA says: 'Pherechoa is a monotypic moth genus of the family Erebidae. Its only species, Pherechoa crypsichlora, is known from the Australian state of Queensland' However, given these Canberra records and looking on BOLD it would appear this moth locally may be at the southern extremity of its range.
