Coordinator notes: According to the Moth Photographers Group (MPG) Stenoptilodes taprobanes and 6122 - S. brevipennis are very similar species that cannot realiably be identified by photographs. They require dissection and examination of genitalia (or DNA analysis) in order to be positively identified.
