Probably ? 2913 - Phaneta umbrastriana
.... but 2915 - Phaneta ferruginana is also very similar. Gilligan et al., chose to discuss just four of the first ten Phaneta of our checklist as the Phaneta formosana species group, and noted particularly problems in identifying some of them, including the two species mentioned here. It probably would make sense to combine all photographs currently shown under these two names as representing the Phaneta umbrastriana sp. grp. (no rsvp, thanks)
