Another find from #Malaise trapping and barcoding specimens in #Aranda ACT has been that a moth not yet recorded on iNaturalist is actually pretty common here.

Eumenodora encrypta is a small and nondescript #xyloryctid, so dull and plain that I would never have identified it otherwise.

See Lauri Kaila's paper on the species:
