Haven't seen this before either but think it's H. unipunctata. Looks like slightly darker version of one attracted to John's light. Under light at office building beyond parking lot.

6654 - Hypagyrtis unipunctata
I've only seen a Hypagyrtis Variant like this in H. unipunctata, but then with the brown tooth projecting toward the median area only in the forewing. This specimen has the condition on all wings and is really neat.

Thanks - interesting! I wonder if the toothed projection on all wings might be a western variant? I have a photo of another individual (quite worn) also from the BG gathering at Pack Forest which also shows a projection on all wings. Didn't post it because it's not completely in focus.

Also,this photo of John Davis's appears to show the same thing:
