Not Eufidonia convergaria?
How do you distinguish E. discospilata from E. convergaria? The forage plants for both species are found in the area where this moth was caught--shore pine (= lodgepole) as well as labrador tea, etc. Both species of Eufidonia are found not that far away in BC. No species of Eufidonia has been recorded in AK.
