donhe (and other moth oderators) there are two entries in the taxonomy for E. australie. We need to progressively transfer sightings from the other category to this category ie. 'Elhamma australie A Swift and Ghost 'moth (Hepilasidae]' whichas the most entries.

Ok, to make it easier : I have renamed the redundant one "Elhamma australasie" (ie missing the penultimate 'a'), which in due course we can delete.

OK. I had previously dropped the common name from the redundant group for the same reason
