Just received the results from All-Leps Barcode of Life
for the first batch of moths I sent them, and they also IDed this specimen as Cryphia viridata.

Gary, could you please catch
Gary, could you please catch few of this species and pin them, so they would be available later for somebody to study. I suspect it may be a Lacinipolia species, likely undescribed if so. Would be great if somebody dissect them and study genitalia.
