Yes, agreed.P. verecunda most likely, not P./T. flexirana based particularly on the third image.

Proteuxoa are difficult, and especially so with P. flexirina and similar P. verecundah and similar. These species have been moved to Genus Thoracolopha which isn't on AFD yet. I think we have quite a mix of species under these two names and Proteuxoa sp that need review. There is a case for using Thoracolopha to help separate them, even though it's not on AFD.

I agree,, we need to sort these species out, being mindful of AFD (i.e is it being properly maintained?) and naming policy on the other web-based platforms.
