Xanthorhoe fossaria (T) - Xanthorhoe
Stevenson, Skamania County, Washington, USA

Attracted to lights. Looks somewhat like a worn Epirrhoe alternata, but not quite. Not sure of ID.

Xanthorhoe sp.
This looks like Xanthorhoe fossaria to me. However, there are a couple more very similar species - pontiaria & iduata - that you can view along with fossaria on this CBIF page. Although I haven't checked yet, I'm not sure iduata is in your area. Do you know what the size was on this specimen? It seems fossaria may be the larger of the two, which would help to confirm the ID.
