Paectes nubifera
Thanks Bob. I knew this was not right for P. abrostoloides. But I never ran across P. nubifera in my search. Thanks for finding it for me. It was that yellow/white spot with the toothed lines on the fore wing that I kept trying to match. Alas, I finally decided to throw abrostoloides out there. Thanks for the help.
