Unk-1 and Unk-2 "were found in New Zealand (in a cargo ship)... The previous port was Brisbane Australia, but ... they might have boarded previously somewhere more distant. I did not recognise the one with the bold brown pattern, but thought ... one might be Mocis trifasciata? They both have a wingspan of about 4 cms." Don Herbison-Evans | |
Hypaetra novaguineana Hampson, Brit. Museum Plate ccxxiii fig 6 |

According to Hampson H. novaguineana is found in New Guinea,
which is consistent with Unknown-2 entry either in Australia or New Guinea.
I have not found a listing for H. novaguineana elsewhere.
Is it possible that its Genus and species name have changed? I have found
that Hypaetra and Hypetra have been juniored to Anereuthina
but I have not located any species with useful detail from here, except: Anereuthina renosa Hübner , 1823 Zutr. Samml. exot. Schmett. 2: 23, figs 325, 326. We have this volume in our Special Collections floor and I will look at it as soon as I can. JGK |
