Moved
Moved from Cisthene. Nice example showing all the expected marks including the gray vertex, outwardly convex PM band on the FW and very narrow basal streaks. The color of the tegulae (flanking the thorax) are redder than examples elsewhere. Thanks for uploading this important record!

The head is dark. Check out the range for Barnes' Lichen Moth Cisthene barnesii. That might be the first one from Nebraska.

I think you are right about C. barnesii being the more likely ID--thank you!
