Hymenia perspectalis?
Covell (1) shows two very similar species on plate 56: Spoladea recurvalis (#15) and Hymenia perspectalis (#16). This looks closer Hymenia to me, based on band on hindwing. Opinions?

(I haven't seen the thing--I was just going write a guide and looked at the plates.)

Pyralid moth
Yes, according to Bob Patterson it is more likely to be Hymenia, but there seems to be some variation on the markings, so I wouldn't be 100% sure of either.

Moth Identification..
I think the moth that is pictured here is a (Hawaiian) Beet Webworm Moth, Spoladea recurvalis
