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.
1) Hypomecis externia, http://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/518368
and
Tephrosia externia, http://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/471566
2) Australian Tailed Emperor (Charaxes sempronius), http://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/522099
and
Polyura sempronius, Tailed Emperor ... which is synonymous with Charaxes
All images by Ken Harris for
"Cryptophasa bipunctata"
http://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:biodiversity.org.au:afd.taxon:44306f22-f393-4c63-babc-e80de790e301#overview
depict a species of Maroga.
4) "Oxysemaphora hacobiani"
http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/tort/hacobiani.html
does not match any here ...
http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/TaxBrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=112152
it is Cryptophlebia ombrodelta, Macadamia Nutborer
http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=254043
perhaps as a consequence, this error is repeated here
http://www.leapfrogoz.com.au/LeapFrogOz/Tortricidae.html
5) "Ophiorrhabda mormopa" does not match that species in BOLD SYSTEMS
http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxon=Ophiorrhabda+mormopa&searchTax=
where there should be fine filigree in the basal portion of the forewing there is none.
Appears to be consistent with Garella scoparioides
http://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/426013
6) Trichophysetis crocoplaga ... the first image (Ian McMillan) is that of Scenedra decoratalis
http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/cyba/crocoplaga.html
the accompanying image appears correct for T. crocoplaga.
http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxon=+Trichophysetis+crocoplaga&searchTax=
1) The entry labeled "Elesma subglauca"
https://www.flickr.com/photos/7365168@N02/15469216718/
is a Calathusa ... likely Calathusa octogesima
http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=323793
and is repeated erroneously within ALA
https://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:biodiversity.org.au:afd.taxon:e141fa49-de46-475c-b44b-8d8e8056f131
as a consequence, my own Calathusa was mis-ID and appears (as of 28 Jan 2017) within the same ALA entry
for E. subglauca.
2) See other journal post
http://www.inaturalist.org/journal/vicfazio3/8231-coff-s-butterfly-house-errors-part-i-s-foveata-c-iostephana-o-ptousalis
concerning Crepidosceles sp.
3) This "Calamotropha leptogrammellus"
https://www.flickr.com/photos/7365168@N02/15362425279/
is indistinguishable from the tropical Calamotropha delatalis
http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=121974
though plausible for a very pale C. leptogramellus
IMAGE DUPLICATION
1) The main pic for Thallarcha fusa
http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/arct/fusa.html
and Thallarcha sparsana
http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/arct/sparsana.html
2) The pic for Ocrasa chyrtriodes
http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/pyra/chytroides.html
is the same as that for Arippara disticha
http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/pyra/disticha.html
3) The pic for "Stenopaltis lithina" is correctly displayed here
http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/hypn/lithina.html
but incorrectly depicted as "Hyposada hydrocampata"
http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/acon/hydrocampata.html
and is repeated as such in ALA
https://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:biodiversity.org.au:afd.taxon:397540c2-64b0-4fe5-9f35-e47a3f6ddbbe#gallery
compare with actual H. hydrocampata in BOLD
http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=271020
Ardozyga catarrhacta
http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/gele/catarrhacta.html
is repeated as the first image for Ardozyga mesochra
http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/gele/mesochra.html
The "Heteroteucha dichroella"
http://www.leapfrogoz.com.au/LeapFrogOz/Oecophoridae.html
is actually an Edosa similar to E. xystiphora
The "Oenochroma infantilis"
http://www.leapfrogoz.com.au/LeapFrogOz/Geometridae_Oenochrominae.html
is Mixocera latilineata
The "Oxysemaphora" sp.
http://www.leapfrogoz.com.au/LeapFrogOz/Tortricidae.html
is a Macadamia Nutborer, Cryptophlebia ombrodelta.
