Arizona Moth - Glaucina - male

Arizona Moth - Glaucina - Male
Pena Blanca Spring off Ruby Road, Santa Cruz County, Arizona, USA
May 29, 2018
This is one of those bugs you have already despaired of ever identifying even as you are about to photograph it. But it's there now so you take the photo anyway. Nevertheless by luck it gets connected with another image out there, in this case the MPG pinned Jim Vargo image for Glaucina ignavaria Hodges 6508. The faint but visible white dotted PM line seems more prominent in this species than other plainer Glaucinia. The range indicated on the MPG map is exact for this specimen. It was on a sheet at night with UV black light. Submitted for confirmation or other ideas about placement.

I thought probably G.erroria which I see here, but you might compare yours to this one if you have not already done so
