Moved
Moved from Heppner's Petrophila. After much further review, it is evident that this is a good example of Feather-edged Petrophila. It shows dark dots around the perimeter of the speckled postmedian area on the FWs, a separation of the orange tornal wedge and the orange terminal band, and a distinct but short dark capline over the inner submarginal spots on the HWs. See my discussion of some of these issues here on iNaturalist.
