Proteuxoa restituta AMPHIPYRINAE NOCTUIDAE

 Once again, there seems to be little information on the biology of these moths. There are a lot of this genus in Australia and they are often difficult to tell apart, but in this case there re quite a lot of good samples of this species.
The winspan is about 40mm.

Family:- NOCTUIDAE
Sub Family:- AMPHIPYRINAE
Genus:- Proteuxoa 
Species:- restituta

Proteuxoa (possibly) tibiata AMPHIPYRINAE NOCTUIDAE

 In close up view of this moth it shows some damage with loss of scales so the identification has to be considered less than perfect.
Again, no information on food plants etc.

Family:- NOCTUIDAE
Sub Family:- AMPHIPYRINAE
Genus:- Proteuxoa 
Species:- (possibly) tibiata
