However, if there is a consensus amongst moth moderators to place ttem in the subfamily Stenomatinae of Oecophoridae than well and good and I am happy to facilitate that, but I first would change the 'A Depressarid moth to 'A Concealer moth' before doing so. I have merged the former two groups of Agriophara (genus) in to one.
