Thx Roger. I didn't know that the lymantriids are now grouped under the noctuids.:)

Arctiids as well.

please see http://www.hkwildlife.net/viewthread.php?tid=17963 for the nuts and bolts of the details.

cheers, Roger.

Thx, Roger. Seems like after the revision, moths might end up with just a few families like butts.

Not much likelihood of that - still over 120 recognised families!

cheers, Roger.
