I notice this species D. castaliaappears twice on Lpeidiotera Butterfly House under the Eribidae family. Once in the Catocolini subfamily and one in the Erebiniae subfamily. I assume the former is correct?

In my recent split of the subfamilies of Erebidae following the AFD classification, some webpages were copied to their new folder rather than moved too ensure they were not lost. You will notice those moved to Catocalini do not appear in
http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/ereb/erebinae.html
But Google knows the copies of the redundant psges are still in their old folders and produces them on request. I had a bad fall at home the other day and was in hospital for a while. Meanwhile i am flat out trying to help with Peters deluge. I intend to delete them on due course, but I cannot do everything simultaneously.

Hi donhe. Sorry to hear about your fall. By ''Peter'deluge"". I presumed you meant, at first, unusual rainfall, but of course you mean his extra moth postings!. Take care! Cheers, Ian Baird
