Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Cochylichroa hoffmanana”, the useful work is to connect “species of moth” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 27, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q138643698. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1907 and 2019.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
