Similar again, many Phyctinaie look similar, but records apparently known from tropical Australia only. Grey coloured, this is a more elongated sp. I think.

I've had second thoughts E, elutella is quite similar I think, after all, see also on ALA: ' Ephestia elutella uniformis https://bie.ala.org.au/search?q=Ephestia+elutella+uniformata

I added E. eutella successfully, but CNM put it in 'Uncategorised species'. Huh.

Ok. donhe, you have suggested it but the CNM system won't let me approve your suggestion. Kasaaus (Katarina), can you do that?
