Macrochilo species perhaps - Doryodes spadaria
Sunset Beach, Cape May County, New Jersey, USA
September 21, 2015
Size: TL 20mm
Found this moth at a night light at a beach shack. The 20mm length is for the body but the antenna measure an additional 9mm. We have searched several families with no success at finding an ID. Any suggestions for an ID would be much appreciated.
