A-ha! Not a crambid at all! This appears to be Arispe cestalis.

Moved from Crambid Snout Moths.

I saw the pinned spmn here when moving the Hypsopygia

I noticed it had the same color scheme, but I didn’t bother to check to see if it matched these. I almost had it! There aren’t any live images at MPG or BOLD, and these are the first for BugGuide, so they’re a nice addition for sure!

Pyrausta zonalis?

Closest I can find, but I'm not convinced.

I considered it too

I looked through the MPG plates, and Pyrausta was my best idea. The lines look close, anyway…
