Unknown noctuid - Mimobarathra antonito - male

Unknown noctuid - Mimobarathra antonito - Male
Catron County, New Mexico, USA
August 24, 2016
Size: wingspan = 37 mm
This specimen was collected at 6200 ft in a Ponderosa pine forest using a UV light trap. I think it might be Lacinipolia luteimacula, but I'm not sure. The antennae in this specimen have flat projections emerging from one side of the central axis. Would this be considered serrate? CL Selman in his unpublished thesis on Lacinipolia species states that male L. luteimacula have "serrate and fasciculate" antennae.

Unknown noctuid
I've done a genitalia prep. on a second specimen similar to the one shown above. The genitalia don't match any species illustrated in CL Selman's 1975 thesis on Lacinipolia, so I doubt its a member of that genus. A friend has suggested I might be looking at Mimobaratha antonito (H10622). This looks like a good choice.
