User's notes
Eudesmeola lawsoni (R. Felder & Rogenhofer, 1874). I note this is similar to what is shown in Moths in the A.C.T. page 231 as Ericeia subsignata which I believe to be incorrect.

OK, I note your comment. Can you say what you believe is incorrect about Ericeia subsignata on p. 231 of 'Moths In the ACT?

I tend to aree with PJH123 on this one. I don;t see the spotted markings wjich seem to characaterize Ericeia subsignata.
