Hi welcome back to an update to this apparently TWO MONTHS LATER 😭

ENJOY- /silly

We're gonna do this with the members of the server instead of also having the subsystem as originally planned, seemingly?

Checking the #iNaturalist records for Australian #PlumeMoths in the genus #Hexadactilia, it seems there is an outlier that doesn't fit either of the two known species:

https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/285825134

This is further north than the other known records of the genus from #Australia and has rather different markings. It may well be an #undescribed species. The only other possibility is a third species described from #Sabah in #Borneo, but I can't locate a copy of the relevant paper. It's from a 1995 issue of Entomologische Zeitschrift Frankfurt am Main:

Arenberger, E. (1995) Eine neue Art der Gattung Hexadactilia Fletcher, 1910 von Sabah. Ent. Z., Frankf. a. M. 105: 138-140

I've located a copy thanks to Petr Ustjuzhanin. Looking to see if it's a match.

I also did the entomophile flag as a star and a flag, bc the kissers for these already exist and should be in the pridekisser zip but yk,..

Brain is fried like fuck, though, so needing downtime bad.
