Tarache bella (#9147) - Tarache bella
Davis Mountains (private), Jeff Davis County, Texas, USA
June 7, 2016
Size: FW 12mm.
I noted only a single individual of this uncommon, large bird-dropping mimic at the porchlight over three evenings. MPG shows no Texas records but the species is on Knudson & Bordelon's 2010 update of their Texas checklist and the LepSoc database also indicates one collection in Jeff Davis County in 2014 by them.

***Needs a new BG page.

Moved Tarache bella
Moved from Tarache.

Tentative ID based on request and Poole's info and description here which incidentally does show this example as being within the species range.
