I don't know this for sure but I think they're using a number that isn't likely
to ever be needed for a confirmed species. Every now and then you find a .1 or
.2 and these are species that were described after the original Hodges numbers
were assigned. It would take a lot of new species to make it to .96!
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Are those numbers the year they were numbered? If not, what do they signify?
I'm still learning too.

I hate it when I find something on MPG and then notice the .96/97/98/99 at the
end of the Hodges number.

There's no doubt this is the same moth that's pictured on this page.
