Probably ? 5553 - Galasa nigripunctalis
This is the only Galasa listed by Walsh for southeastern Arizona. Only photo that I know of for it is in MWNA. Not much difference between it and our eastern species (5552). Check to see if hindwing of your specimen is darker than Jim Vargo's 5552 shown at MPG. I've saved your photo as 5553 for the plates at MPG. (no rsvp, thanks)
