While this certainly looks like it belongs in Pseudochelaria and, if so, looks referable to pennsylvanica, I am hesitant to move it there in this difficult family because it would provide a first for Canada (both here and at MPG) for the entire genus! I'm happy to wait for an expert's opinion.

Moved from Moths.

BOLD Map
BOLD shows pennsylvanica in Canada. It looks like that species though a little worn.

There is no original description other than by way of comparison in Dietz' original description of walsinghami here to an illustration of pennsylvanica here. Can't say I follow it completely. The species was apparently first described by Walsingham but never published so Dietz is attributed as the author.

Ah yes - looking in the wrong family didn't help...
Thank you.
