For mine, the reniform mark does not look right for P. hyraecioides (the presumed 'tail' is on the wrong side)
See Sighting No 4656689 . Like for Sighting 4656689 this moth also has a large orbicular mark and a second smaller one closer to the base of the forewing,
it looks quite similar to Moths of Victoria's 'Proteuxoa sp. (11)'. (Part 9).
I think we could justify creating a new category a category: 'Proteuxoa sp. (11) (MoV)' for these two sightings.

The trouble with such unnamed species is that there is no obvious way of looking at a list of photos of them while searching for matches.

OK. See Sighting 4656689 where the similalrity of a similar moth to MoV's 'Proteuxoa sp. (11) was first raised.
If we create a category for un-named species in a genus on NatureMapr which correspond with the published un-named MoV species then at least we can search for them there.
Several of the moth moderators also have personal copoies of the Moths of Victoria published Parts 1-9 and their supporting discs so they can also search for them there.

I do most of my moderating on my phone. The MOV images are not available to a mobile. Also how do I see a set of images of the unnamed species in a category on NatureMapr ?

At the moment you have to search within the genus, say, for example, Proteuxoa (genus), or in the field guide for created un-named species categories. On NatureMapr 'Collections' can be created. Perhaps that would be a way of setting up searchable groupings, such as for Proteuxoa where this would be useful.
