Epermenia - Epermenia falcata
3,625', Eddy Mountains, Siskiyou County, California, USA
June 11, 2022
Size: FW = ~7.5 mm
Attracted to light. I think this unique moth is a good example of Epermenia stolidota. BOLD has some good comparison images and so does MPG. BG needs a page for this specimen. Thanks to Ken Childs for getting me to the genus.

Epermenia falcata
Per my email, I believe that this is Epermenia falcata Gaedike, 2008. I made a page for it at BG. Please move to species if you agree.
