I have always understood a minority of O. triptycha lack the transverse dark bar admidships on the forewing. For exaple:-

Yes, so have I Ian, and I have photographed several like that but this one seems a bit different somehow. Maybe it is still just a variation.

Yes, on second thoughts I'm not sure this Olbonoma genus. It lacks the small 'tick' mark dorsally that o. tryptycha have, I have a vague recollection of seeing this moth before. Trying to recall....
