Why, if you type in Conopomorpha heliopla in iNaturalist, does it take you to Polysema eumatella?

Gracillariidae undescribed species

Hi @DougT
I would estimate around or just over a metre long if straight.

iNaturalist apparently treats Conopomorpha heliopla and Polysoma eumetalla as synonyms.
Type in C. heliolopa and iNaturalist takes you to the P. emetalla page

Hey @JimL , how big do you think this was? More or less than 1m? It is almost certainly Anguilla australis, but there's a remote chance it could be Anguilla dieffenbachii. The latter is endemic to New Zealand, but is known to migrate to pacific islands to breed, and given that Port Arthur is as close as Australia gets to New Zealand, I don't think we can rule it out.

This sighting clearly shows the dark patch inside the apex of the forewing (Moths in the ACT p 197). On this basis I suggest C. filata.

Pasiphilodes testulata
