Moved
Moved from Butterflies and Moths. According to MONA Fascicle 13.2A, the range for arizonensis is southeast AZ and southward into Mexico. This looks most like Hahncappsia fordi to me which ranges from southern California to southern Arizona. However, it is difficult to rule out Helvibotys pseudohelvialis which is also known from this area.
