Hi Wendy, Can you indicate why you favour labryinthicus over atralpis?

I was going by the images used in Moths of Victoria Part 6, Kallies et al (CD pages - note name change) The examples of A. (Trictena) atripalpis did not have the 2 white lines combining, while various examples of A. labyrinthicus did. I did not think I could see the antennae well enough to go by that.

The AFD just says Trictena is a synonym of Abantiades genus.

I was just saying because that is what it is called in MoV Pt6. I always have to think when I check the CD pages.

OK, iNaturalist shows a wide variety of different white line combinations, joined and unjoined for this species. But most seem to show moew labrynthinine markings as apparent, but fainter here.
