Hypena madefactalis (Gray-Edged Hypena) - Hypena

Hypena madefactalis (Gray-Edged Hypena) - Hypena
Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana, USA
July 21, 2018
Size: 12 mm TL
Found shortly after midnight on the state capitol building in downtown Indianapolis. When first captured, I could not clearly see this moth, but the size and shape made me think Idia. Was really surprised to see when I got it home that it was Hypena. I am pretty sure this must be H. madefactalis, but have never found that species anywhere near this small.
