Moved from Butterflies and Moths. Looks reasonable, anyway. Not well versed in these at all.

Jim,

In my experience Sympistis cottami has a much wider and darker lateral streak. I think this is Catabenoides terminellus. We will see if anyone else agrees with me. There is recent evidence that our Texas Catabenoides is a separate species only identifiable by CNA or dissection.
