You are correct. It looks like Zonepetala. Thanks Jakubko

That is an okay thing to do, though the family name would not be Gelechidae, but Oecophoridae. You could also remove everything from the scientific name box, and click the "Help me ID this species," which will list it as unknown for other users to help ID. :)

Thanks Jakubko. I am not sure. That last one is more likely now that I look at it but I have changed the id until sure. I hope that is the correct thing to do

Awesome moth! It looks to me like it could be a Zonopetala or perhaps even a Eulechria. http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au...
