Coff's Butterfly House errors: Part I - S. foveata, C. iostephana, O. ptousalis
MIS-ID
1) "Strepsinoma foveata"
http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/acen/foveata.html
... actually Strepsinoma croesusalis
http://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/519929
2) "Crepidosceles iostephana"
http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/oeco/iostephana.html
does not match BOLD SYSTEMS
http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=404159
possibly C. timalphes
http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=404160
apparently based on
https://www.flickr.com/photos/7365168@N02/14961735721
location of photo not given but the photographer's other work is from Queensland where
C. timalphes has been taken but not C. iostephana which has a more southerly distribution.
3) "Osiriaca ptousalis"
http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/spil/ptousalis.html
Osiriaca ptousalis
does not match BOLD SYSTEMS specimens of same
http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxon=Osiriaca+ptousalis&searchTax=
and is very likely Ocrasa albidalis ... certainly the image is indistinguishable
from that species.

I agree about Strepsinoma foveata and Strepsinoma croesusalis .
I have put separate webpages for them.
I note that Strepsinoma croesusalis has not yet made it to the
Australian Faunal Directory
I think that Ian's photo at
http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/oeco/iostephana.html
with the dark forewing costal streak, matches that in photo CCDB-15753-E01 at the BOLD site for C. iostephana.
The type is from Brisbane (lat -27.5) and Ian's specimen is from Imbil (lat -26.5), and the BOLD photos show a wide variability of inner-marginal extent of the forewing basal mark.
But I am a dancer, not an entomologist, and I cannot tell it from
Eochrois epidesma.
But to be safer I have changed the illustrating photo.
I agree about Brian's photo listed as Osiriaca ptousalis, and have changed it to another of Donald's.
Your comments are much appreciated.
Still working on your later comments. 27 Nov 2017
