looks like Euphoria sepulcralis rufina
From the latest 'revision' - 4 subspecies are recognized;

Euphoria sepulcralis leucographa (Gory and Percheron, 1833) - ??
Euphoria sepulcralis nitens Casey, 1915 - can't be, in guide already
Euphoria sepulcralis rufina (Gory and Percheron, 1833) - compare, old nomenclature
Euphoria sepulcralis sepulcralis (Fabricius, 1801) - not this, eastern

I haven't looked at the western sp. in some time and as far as I know, there isn't a good, current key to the species with the latest nomenclature.

Looks sort of like the one I
Looks sort of like the one I saw. I think mine was on the same plant but I dont know all the plants down there. Can't be that many species? Hope someone can figure them out for us!
