Oklahoma unknown - Fascista quinella

Oklahoma unknown - Fascista quinella
Harrah, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, USA
September 7, 2010
Attracted to light. Very close to Fascista cercerisella.

But the "eyespots" on the wings are replaced with a white patch similar to this image that BP says should be classified as an unknown species.

It looks lot like this one Fascista . I have photos of two others that match by DNA barcoding and will submit them later today.
