I see two Casbia (genus) sub-categories in the Field Guide but not Casbia(geometer moth) or Casbia sp.. I have asked that the two Casbia (genus) subcategiries be merged into one 11/4/25

The photos of Casbia rhodoptila on iNaturalist are quiite variable (as most Casbia genus species appear to be) but they include moths which look quite similar to this specimedn. but as WendtEM says they are all sightings from Far North Queensland.
