This moth sub-category for the superfamily Noctuoidea contains the large families Noctuidae and Erebidae as well the smaller Euteliidae, Nolidae, Notodontidae and Oenosandridae. The Arctiinae also belong to this superfamily, but are distinctive and well known so are given their own moth sub-category

Could this be E. niphobola which is very similar to E. marginalis but BOLD (Hobern) gives a more appropriate distribution for? Otherwise this is a much more northerly record compared to Bold or iNat records.

With a bit of working around,
I have added: Dura (genus) to NatureMapr's taxonomy.

(I have not yet worked out what the interaction was with grasses genus Aira .)

It is till doing it today. Have you asked "management" or plant/monocot moderators bout this? Aira is a genus of grass (Poaceae) called Hairgrass. ALA does not list Dura as a synonym for Aira as far as I can see. There are however a couple of moncots that have dura as a species - Sclerochloa dura (Hardgrass) is introduced grass found in Australia used for turf also - Lomandra multiflora subsp. dura - Stiff Iron-grass whose natural S.A. community is critically endangered.
OR this has nothing to do with it.
