Unknown moth - Pelochrista canariana - Male
Black Hawk Canyon, Big Burro mountains, Gila NF, 5100 ft. , Grant County, New Mexico, USA
August 4, 2021
Size: Wingspan = 27 mm
This specimen looks like a Crambid, but I haven't found a match on the Web. The haustellum is much reduced, and I cannot tell if it is scaled at the base. The FW are satiny white except for the yellow markings.

Thanks!
Thanks!
