Can I suggest we include Psychidae as a discrete subset of the moths (Psychidae family) rather than being included miscellaneously under "Other Moths".

Based on the Atlas of Living Australia link - and my fond recollection of this species as 'Saunders Case Moth' from Nature Study classes in the 1950s at Heidelberg State School No 294, I accept Harvey Perkin's suggestion!
