Ceranemota sp. [Thyatiridae, Polyplocinae}
There are at least 8 species in this genus with many shared marking patterns. I've seen good photos for only 3-4 of these species and I am unable to make a match with these photos. They might come closest to C. fasciata of the three species shown here.

Moth photographers ID
This specimen we ID as probably being C. improvisa by Gary Anweiler. Should it be moved to a new page?
