Not sure
I'm not even sure the genus is right. This kind of matches the description by Fernald but not so much that of Guenée. I'm wondering if Fernald's fasciella should have been lumped. I think BugGuide photo 1724936 is a better match to Guenée's description, though it's still not quite right, and it certainly matches MPG and BOLD images better. I'll try to get some clarification. In the meantime, I added the references to the Info page.
