Moved from Acontiini.

Hard to tell with the wing folded over funny and not a true lateral, but I think P. libedis or P. nannodes would be close.

Craig, the third photo was very helpful, but I still don't know if I am qualified to place. I had already been leaning toward P. nannodes. I see P. libedis all the time and they often tend to have greenish tones. I hate to place Arizona moths for fear I will be wrong and these are so close.
