Sympistis apis
Valley of Fires Recreation Area, Lincoln County, New Mexico, USA
September 22, 2021
Size: ~16 mm TL
This species is very similar to S. pernotata in appearance, however that species is typically found west of the continental divide in AZ according to Troubridge (2008). Jim Vargo collected apis at this location in October 2019, so I think it is pretty safe to say this one is also apis.
