Update 20 Jun 2006: I goofed on this one, originally posting it to the C. agitatellus page. Jeff Skevington et al collected extensively throughout this area over several years in the late 1990s, finding saltuellus but not agitatellus. Also, the markings on this moth are those of saltuellus as described on the species page, and shown in the links to images there.
