Metalmark - Tebenna onustana

Metalmark - Tebenna onustana
Packwood, Lewis County, Washington, USA
June 11, 2020
The range shows northeastern US but this looks a lot like Tebenna onustana. On a lit cloth at night adjacent to a mixed conifer/deciduous woodlot.

BOLD has one specimen from British Columbia. Also, the pattern of the wings matches up exactly, as far as I can tell.

 
Possibly undescribed
That BOLD specimen, sample LALPA1177-11, is by Libby Avis and barcode separates it from eastern specimens by 1.5%. The separation in barcode and location indicates that it may be a different species, possibly undescribed. I suspect that this is the same cryptic species.

 
Great!
Very cool. I'm doing backyard surveys again this year and hopefully I'll find another.
