Hypagyrtis Moth Variants (6654 & 6655)

This gallery contains my photos of the moth species Hypagyrtis unipuncta (One-spotted Variant) (Hodges 6654)
and Hypagyrtis esther, (Esther Moth)(Hodges 6655).
These species are are so similar that distinction between them by external appearances is just not reliable.
Bob Belmont has published a very useful treatise on this matter on the Moth Photographers Website which can be accessed at
