[s] Nyctemera baulus

:-))

Hello Tabris. What is the reference link you are basing your decision on? Please note that Wikipedia redirects Nyctemera secundiana to Nyctemera baulus. On bayucca's baulus link ( http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/arct/baulus.html ) it says "The range and DNA barcode are sufficiently similar to that of Nyctemera secundiana, to suggest that these are two races of the same species, or else ecological variants of the same species. This cannot be decided until they have been more studied." And on the baulus page http://www.papua-insects.nl/insect%20orders/Lepidoptera/Erebidae/Arctiinae/Nyctemera/Nyctemera%20baulus/Nyctemera%20baulus%20Papua.htm it says "relevant synonyms: Nyctemera secundiana Lucas, 1892 (type: Queensland)". Cheers

Sorry, Tabris, but Nyctemera secundiana is most probably only found in Australia. http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=10639 ftp://ftp.funet.fi/index/Tree_of_life/insecta/lepidoptera/ditrysia/noctuoidea/arctiidae/arctiinae/nyctemera/index.html I am still confident, this being Nyctemera baulus. http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=70281 Links for Baulus: http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-6/arctiinae/arctiinae-12-2.php http://www.papua-insects.nl/insect%20orders/Lepidoptera/Erebidae/Arctiinae/Nyctemera/Nyctemera%20baulus/Nyctemera%20baulus%20Papua.htm http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/arct/baulus.html

Yes but yours matches most other images on the net. Perhaps the other one from your posted link is the exception, a subspecies or just natural variability.

Yes, I believe so too http://potokito-myshot.blogspot.com/2012/03/brown-nyctemera-moth-nyctemera-baulus.html

In my eyes it IS Nyctemera baulus.
