Hydriomena again

I think this is another of the Hydriomenas, but I can't figure out which one it is...

Right yet again Nina

IDed as Hydriomena nubilofasciata by All-Leps Barcode of Life. This seems to be a highly variable species.

Thank you Nina

for the genus ID.

… Gary McDonald, 16 February, 2009 - 2:15pm

sure!

Not a problem... it was fun detective work and I just couldn't decide between the two species options that looked possible for your specimen. Barcode of Life folks are really helping to clean up some of our pages where it was a toss up like this one. Nice job.
