Description

Dasygaster nephelistis Hampson, 1905, to MV light, Blackheath, NSW, 23/24 January 2011

This moth seems to be a Dasygaster but there is considerable confusion around Australian Hadeninae in this group. This individual resembles the type of Dasygaster nephelistis and Hampson's description. The Checklist of Australian Lepidoptera synonymised D. nephelistis with Leucania obumbrata T.P. Lucas, 1894, but made no attempt to assign the species to a genus. Lucas's description of obumbrata and the type specimen indicate a much plainer moth than the one illustrated here, in particular lacking the fuscous streak down the forewing and the terminal fuscous clouding. As of today (3 February 2011), the Australian Faunal Directory currently treats D. nephelistis as a name for which the correct species is still to be determined.

Once the necessary revisionary work has taken place, it is likely that there will be a more appropriate name for the form illustrated.
