My question was, if the known_hosts file is hashed how do you identify the entry for the particular host so it can be removed when needed?
The warning message tells you the line number of the entry in the known_hosts file:
Add correct host key in /home/rmy/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message. Offending key in /home/rmy/.ssh/known_hosts:22 RSA host key for localhost has changed and you have requested strict checking. Host key verification failed.
They also add a "-F hostname" option to ssh-keygen that searches known_hosts for lines matching a particular hostname (whether hashed or not).
