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?

I think that right hindwing looks like E. bispinaria, and left hindwing like E. excursaria.

Yes, but they also show a photo of the species (see page: 'Chlorocoma assimilis (TP.Lucas, 1888) group'3/3) which looks very close to this moth without any red on it at all. In the key for the group 'Yellow on fringe.' they say for the similar species C. melacrossa.'No red on costa' but they don.t rule our red on C assimilis in other photos of the species on pp, 2/1/qnd 2/2. But neither C. carenaria nor C. melacrossa have plain green wings.
