Different Pyrausta at lights? - Pyrausta signatalis
6 miles NW Lyons, Boulder County, Colorado, USA
June 12, 2016
Size: Costal FW ~10mm
This Pyrausta, also taken at lights in the CO Foothills at about 6400' elevation, is quite similar to the previously posted #1272098. However, it does not have the lower white marginal bar on either side of a row of dots. It is the only one of its type that we have seen. Possibly an aberrant P. signatalis? Other possibilities were P. roseivestalis or P. autopurpuralis, neither of which have this bar. Any help with this moth is greatly appreciaated.

Pyrausta signatalis
Thanks so much. This looks the most like P. signatalis in color especially. Your help is much appreciated.
