Schinia masonia

schinia volupia (11106)
This moth is Schinia volupia. S. volupia is common in Oklahoma, whereas, Schinia masoni has never been found in Oklahoma. Check the fotos and range maps for both at "Moths of North America" site. Charles's picture is a great foto, that is why I noticed that it was not S. masoni.
