I'd Call It 9158 - Tarache areloides
... based on the large trapezoidal white spot on costal margin. Comparison photos are shown on five species pages at MPG for the Tarache areli species group. (no rsvp, thanks)

Tarache areloides
Wow, I thought I had that one. So the size of a spot outranks color differences in the keying of moths?

Shape not Size
See PDF under "Review of the Acontia areli group..." at ZooKeys 9 (2009) Special Issue here. It is the trapezoidal shape that matters. The only other species is unknown in the US.

I believe that the "(no rsvp, thanks)" comment means that Bob is no longer subscribed.

Very cool find!
