Hodges #8378 - Renia salusalis - Renia salusalis - Male
Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida, USA
January 22, 2019
Size: Forewing ≈16mm
Attracted to black light. I suspected Renia salusalis rather than Renia adspergillus as the moth's likely ID on the basis of its short palps. This ID was confirmed by DNA barcoding: BOLD-3N78HAYJ8.
