Everyone can see the coordinates unless the taxon is threatened.
Obscured
Public coordinates shown as a random point within 10KM of the true coordinates. True coordinates are only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation.
private
Coordinates completely hidden from public maps, true coordinates only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation. Observations with private coordinates will still be used to verify place check lists.
Comments & Identifications
Checking the Arctiidae in BOLD led to this - http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxon=Thyrgis - close but without the red head.
Searching on Thyrgis led to this - ftp://ftp.funet.fi/index/Tree_of_life/insecta/lepidoptera/ditrysia/noctuoidea/arctiidae/pericopinae/thyrgis/index.html - with links to Druce:

Druce treated various related species under the genus Eucyane. One of them is listed as having a crimson head (Eucyane simsoni - not illustrated).
LepIndex shows E. simsoni as now being in the genus Coreura - http://www.nhm.ac.uk/research-curation/research/projects/lepindex/search/detail.dsml?TaxonNo=31048.0&UserID=&UserName=&&listPageURL=list%2edsml%3fsort%3dSCIENTIFIC%255fNAME%255fon%255fcard%26SCIENTIFIC_NAME_on_cardqtype%3dstarts%2bwith%26SCIENTIFIC_NAME_on_card%3dsimsoni%26recLimit%3d30&searchPageURL=index%2edsml%3fSCIENTIFIC_NAME_on_cardqtype%3dstarts%2bwith%26sort%3dSCIENTIFIC%255fNAME%255fon%255fcard%26SCIENTIFIC_NAME_on_card%3dsimsoni%26recLimit%3d30

As discussed the other day, the web is totally transformative...
