@ibaird Hi Ian. I think there are some problems with the definitions of some of the Agriophara species. Some seem to be doubled up and also many of them say "concealer moth" and they are under Curved-horn moths and not Oecophoridae like I think they should be. They should probably be moved to Oecophoridae. Can you have a look at this? Thanks.
If that's the case Don and Ian, we should not call them "a concealer moth", I think. Also, before I wrote the previous message, I checked ALA and they are under Oecophoridae on ALA :-o
I understood our policy on NatureMapr (Moths) as we I believe we agreed to is to follow the AFD. https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/Agriophara However, if there is a consensus amongst moth moderators to place ttem in the subfamily Stenomatinae of Oecophoridae than well and good and I am happy to facilitate that, but I first would change the 'A Depressarid moth to 'A Concealer moth' before doing so. I have merged the former two groups of Agriophara (genus) in to one. PS. I note that the authors of Moths in the ACT say calling Stenomatinae a full family (ie Stenomatidae) and therefore placing it within the superfamily Gelechioidea "is perhaps the least confusing course to take at present", see p. 99.
