Leptostales laevitaria
Los Madrones Ranch, Travis County, Texas, USA
September 3, 2019
Size: 15 mm wing spread
This is basically described as a species of southeast pine forests. Bugguide says it occurs west as far as Mississippi which is obviously in error. MPG shows records to central Texas and there are a number of iNat records near Houston, Texas and near Beaumont, Texas. I also have a record of this species at my place in Hays County, 8 miles SSW of the present location.
The present moth is also posted on iNat at:
