I am not clear what is meant by 'Hestiochora erythrota-tricolor-group'. This moth is a Hestiochora sp. but I am not sure which species. This moth is not H. erythrota which has orange spots and stripes on the forewings. It may be H. intermixta, E. tricolor, E. furcata, H. queenslandensis or another.
