Moths of Toowoomba

NOCTUIDAE and EREBIDAE

Since I am now using the later classification of EREBIDAE which came from the splitting of NOCTUIDAE I have made a list of the sub families that have had samples taken in  Australia.

Let me know if I have missed any Australian sub families.

***********************************************************************************

Possibly Euproctis Poss galactopis LYMANTRIINAE EREBIDAE

 

Small white moths can be difficult to identify so there is plenty of room for error.

Family:- EREBIDAE
Sub Family:- LYMANTRIINAE
Genus:- Euproctis (Possibly )
Species:- galactopis (Possibly)




*********************************************************************************

LYMANTRIINAE Unknown 2863-5378

 Note the spurs, one long one short on the hind leg. The moth is missing a lot of scale.

 LYMANTRIINAE Unknown 2863-5378








**********************************************************************************

Fraus crocea HEPIALIDAE

EDIT:-  August 2018.

  I had this down as "LYMANTRIINAE  Unknown 1296-7837", but it turns out it is a HEPIALIDAE.

I will do an entry for it  Wednesday August 22 2018
