Moved
Moved from Neofelderia. This does seem like a better match for T. dyari, but it looks like the hindwing would be very useful to confirm this.

Tetraclonia dyaria?
See Image here. I have an email in to MPG on this one.

Not an ID but maybe
4626 – Neoalbertia constans ?

Hmm...
Well, that seems to be as good a match as some of the Lycomorpha species. Hard to know how much variation in pattern is acceptable. I imagine it would be easy for a lepidopterist to tell us at least whether this belongs to Lithosiinae or Zygaenidae, but I'm at a loss.

Hmmm
I have no idea
8083 – Lycomorpha grotei ?

Well...
That's certainly the best match I've seen, and it does occur in SE Arizona... although the wings on mine seem a bit broader. Wish I'd peeked at the underwings.
Too bad there don't seem to be any images of L. desertus or L. regulus out there.
Thanks for looking!
