unknown moth
Aromas, San Benito County, California, USA
October 21, 2008
Size: ~15mm.
Came to black light. I've just started photographing the moths which come to my black light, so I'll likely be submitting more than one photo of the same species until I get an idea of the variation within each species. (live oak/chaparral habitat).

Genus Dioryctria perhaps
Take a look at Dioryctria
A tough group; Pyralid Moths (Pyralidae) » Phycitinae » Phycitini » Dioryctria. Perhaps in the Dioyctria schuetzeella grp. From Univ. Alberta this comment; "The Nearctic members of the Dioryctria schuetzeella group (D. reniculelloides and D. pseudotsugella) are notoriously difficult to identify, due to intermediate morphological forms and a broadly sympatric distribution." Hope this helps get you started.

I have posted additional comment here.
