Unknown Sesioidea - Synanthedon sapygaeformis

I'm sorry that my response is

I'm sorry that my response is so late. I had trouble with my e-mail not showing BugGuide notifications. I only found out today that they weren't showing up. Thank you all for helping me with the ID on this moth. It means a lot to me, especially having it identified down to species.

Moth ID

It appears to be Synanthedon sapygaeformis based upon it's size, time of year and location.

Orange lines on Thorax

I looked here, MPG, and BAMONA, none of the images for Synanthedon sapygaeformis have the orange lines on the thorax.

This appears to be a male, and would match the image below you had commented on:

Male persimmon borers have a 4 tufts that protrude off the abdomen but S. sapygaeformis have a triangular wedge like in the photo. I just collected both species in Florida several weeks ago. Not all of the determinations on Bugguide are correct so you cannot always compare images. -Bill
