Thanks to WendyEM for suggesting the MoV species 'Proteuxoa sp. 3 (MoV, Part 9), illustarted note for which are available on the supporting disc for that un-nameed species. The notes state: 'This species is similar to P. adelopa but is has a dark collar on the the thorax' (see notes above that effect). The Museum of Victoria has one specimen (Dromana, 1980) and ANIC has more specimens from NSW nd the ACT ( eg. Trangie, NSW, 1952). The two specimens (only females) illustrated by MoV also show a diffuse orbicular spot in line with the reniform mark at the base of the forewing as can also be seem in this sighting. The plain wing, no 'checks, and a 'stripe' atthe termen and a generlly dark sub-terminal area all corrspond. Also i note the illustrated speciemns also show the costal spots referred to above. I'm not sure I see the russet colour near the reniform mark in the illustreated MoV speciemns on our moth, so that feature may indicate our specimen above is a male.

Hi Glenn, I've suggested renaming this record to Furcatrox (genus) to remove the redundancy with 'Furcatrox sp. "and all the other Furcatrox (genus) sightings on NatireMapr. However, the photo seems to be missing. Please supply it if yu have it or delete the record as you see fit. I suspect the record may also be there on the ALA already anyway?
