Oecophoridae provisional species 2


It has been suggested that this species is Nephogenes graphica which has a superficially similar wing pattern and has been recorded on Black Mountain.  There are however consistent diffences in the wing patterns that aren't expalined by variability, and in thorax colour, so it must be a different oecophorid. It obviously has a suitable environment/foodplant in Katarina Christenson's yard.

Overall, Nephogenes graphica is a much greyer moth.
