Chaetaglaea tremula – Trembling Sallow Moth? - Chaetaglaea rhonda
Assateague Island, Worcester County, Maryland, USA
October 24, 2014

Moved
Moved from Trembling Sallow.

Tentative ID mostly based on range. Looking at images at BOLD, this matches the NC specimens, however, both species are highly variable with more overlap than is described based on BOLD images separated by DNA.

Chaetaglaea rhonda
I think this is more likely Chaetaglaea rhonda Stead & Troubridge 2016, original description here.

New for BugGuide, thanks!

Sorry, Steve.

 
Don't be. You still might be right.

 
Another specimen from the same day and place.

Add it here as well. It's a better example. Nice match to BOLD image from NC barrier island.
