Perigonica angulata - Male
Eddy Mountains, 3650', Siskiyou County, California, USA
May 11, 2019
I think this is Perigonica angulata, attracted to light. MPG shows this moth in my area and has a good comparison photo. Biserrate antennae help distinguish this moth from P. tertia. Also, I think the pronounced, dark ashy-gray patch at the base of the thorax is common to angulata and is not so evident in tertia.
