Yes those are the two species

Yes those are the two species that occur in your area, all adult Xanthotypes being indistinguishable by sight alone. See the comments under Identification here http://bugguide.net/node/view/252

X. attenuaria is a remote possibility as it has been found somewhat near to ON, although not yet recorded there http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=6744

Thanks Kyhl

for drawing X. attenuaria to my attention; I didn't come across it in the guide book I was using.
