Hodges#6812 * Pale Homochlodes * Homochlodes fritillaria

I had this as Hodges#6813 * Homochlodes disconventa.
Tanner Matson and Hugh McGuiness formally synonymized Homochlodes disconventa and H. lactispargaria with H. fritillaria (the Pale Homochlodes Moth).
Apparently, the three taxa cannot be split using genitalia, DNA, hostplant or anything else.
They therefore conclude that the Pale Homochlodes Moth is just a single very variable species.
