I am confused. How is this not Scaptesyle dichotoma? It looks, to me, identical to the live and pinned specimens in MoVic Pt2 (2ed)

@WendyEM : because I might have made a mistake putting Chiriphe dichotoma into the Tiger Moth list last week because it has ended up in the Noctuoidea list, so I tried deleting that one today, and put it in again in Tiger Moths, but it has still gone to Noctuoidea !!!. I think my understanding of the system is flawed.

Thanks Don, I find strange things can happen too. On my computer I find some VERY odd IDs that I then have to sort out before posting

Aha: the secret is to change the name of the one in the wrong family, and then introduce it again with the right name in the right family.
