Bob Patterson once told me, "Not every moth is worth photographing." This is the first Pero I seen in a while, that wasn't shabby.

Moved from Honest Pero.

Pero
I would say that based on appearances, this would most likely be ancetaria. It doesn't fit within the typical honestaria

Of course, I have to add my usual caveat ... "that in just the last 1-2 years, identifying Pero specimens to species from photos has become quite murky, and without a physical examination or DNA, many, many IDs almost need an obligatory asterisk."

That said, based on the appearance here and general criteria for visual distinction, it fits within ancetaria well, better than either morrisonia or honestaria.
