Epiblema tripartitana or glenni or? - Epiblema glenni - Male
Reston, Fairfax County, Virginia, USA
July 19, 2016
Size: body length 5-7mm
Observed in morning near porch light. Have been seeing these in ones or twos for past two weeks. This morning, 5 of them. Although this appears to me to match description of E. glenni, with peachy-to-salmon central patch, narrowing above the fold, it also is not that different from several examples under E. tripartitana. Clearly, I could use some help

Moved to Epiblema glenni
Moved from ID Request.

The salmon colored interfascial spot and the black spots along the inner margin, are distinctive. BTW male is correct

RE: Epiblema tripartitana or glenni or?
I lean towards E. glen, but I think it would be safe to place this at the genus level.
