Eupithecia matheri?
How was this identified? E. herefordaria is know only from Cochise Co., AZ. (1) Please ask Tomas Mustelin to recheck.

Tony Thomas noticed that that all the data point on the MPG map, except for AZ, probably refer to E. matheri.

Edit: I just read Rindge (1985) (2) and I see that matheri is the name for the eastern species which had been misidentified as herefordaria.

I just looked through the mothing groups on Facebook and about the time Tomas identified mine, he commented on other posts that he'd confirmed herefordaria in MD by dissecting some. A year or so later he said what was being called herefordaria in the east turned out to be matheri.
