Pinara cana and an undescribed species near Pinara divisa have been recorded regularly in the ACT. The females can be separated by their forewing colour: P. cana females are off white grading to grey towards the leading edge and across the front of the thorax, and the undescribed species near divisa is a light yellowish-brown at the base of the wing and on the thorax, becoming darker brown towards the end of the wing (or brown all over).
