I believe this may be a female Oligocentria pinalensis, but I'm not entirely sure.

Doubts on ID

Thanks Maury. I'm having second thoughts that this is O. pinalensis. It may be a female O. coloradensis. I can't find a picture of a female O. pinalensis anywhere, and since I'm pretty sure I found a male pinalensis at the same location on the same night, I assumed that this was the female. I now know that this area has at least 4 different Oligocentrias including O. coloradensis, and I'm not an expert with Notodontids by any means. I do have pinned specimens of all of them though, including this particular female.
