Atemelia casimiroae Sohn & Epstein, 2019?
Atemelia casimiroae Sohn & Epstein, 2019, n. sp., Zool Anz., 279: 52-58.

You're sample CNCLEP00112307 in BOLD:ACI6715 appears to be the same species. Did you or Noris get any of these dissected? The host plant of Atemelia casimiroae is Casimiroa edulis.

No
I sent it to J-F Landry and he submitted it to BOLD. I do not know if he dissected it. Norris very likely did not send any moths for dissection.

No longer needed
Marc Epstein has indicated that these are all casimiroae and that the species is well established in San Diego Co.
