Not an expert
but...
1) I noticed that almost every image in Euchlaena has scalloped hind wings.
2) The markings of this moth most closely match Least-marked Euchlaena - Hodges#6739, which has 1 image with scalloping and 2 without.
3) I started to wonder about those 2 (sorry)
4) Then I found Eusarca confusaria (Confused Eusarca - Hodges#6941)

Could this image (and maybe the other two I mentioned) really belong there?

Again, not an expert.

As you can see I'm rather stu
As you can see I'm rather stuck between those 2 on my photos too and where I said to look...I went with Bob's ID on one (Least-marked Euchlaena)-now you have me wondering. As far as the scalloping-I've had some things IDed that were the same things-even though one was scalloped and one not because all the markings matched. So I don't know for sure.

We NEED an expert here!!
