BOLD Systems 4 confirms there are two distinct species C. emplecta and C. periploca. The Australian Faunal Directory gives a detailed history of historical name changes associated with any particular species.

Thanks heap @ibaird😊Do you know if there’s been any name change? When I looked for photos of Choreutis emplecta on iNaturalist it kept saying Invalid Taxon… Choreutis periploca looked remarkably similar on iNat, but The Butterfly House has both listed as active taxon so wasn’t sure if they are one-in-the-same or two different species?
