Glaucina imperdata - Glaucina - Male
29.797499, -100.998049, Val Verde County, Texas, USA
June 24, 2017
I think this is an overlooked Texas species. Rindge (1959) described it and looked at 21 specimens from the OK border south to Cotulla. He also included a specimen from NM and one from Coah. MX. At BOLD there is a specimen identified as imperdata from Baboquivari, AZ, and one from the OK border of TX (probably the same specimen seen by Rindge). The type locality is Kerrville, TX. The darkly pigmented line on the fold that connects the AM line and PM line is a character of the pattern of imperdata.

Glaucina imperdata
This is probably Glaucina imperdata, based on the description and illustrations of Rindge (1959)

Thought you might be interested in seeing a moth I just posted for ID that looks very similar to yours:


I also wanted to point out that it appears you have your moth posted twice. The other posting is BugGuide photo #1446991 submitted on 9/27/17. They are different photos, but taken the same day and at the same location and appear to be the same moth. I think you started getting on the right track with this later posting with a suggested ID of Glaucina imperdata.
