I'm moving this to Hadena circumvadis but please let me know if that is an error as I'm adding it to MPG as well.

Hadena circumvadis?
Based on range, I'm wondering if this might be Hadena circumvadis. Troubridge & Crabo (2002) mentions that on the Great Plains that it cannot be confused with any other species having white patches at apex, tornus and postbasal areas.

Yes, I agree that this is H. circumvadis. I've photographed other specimens of circumvadis, at my residence west of Helena, over the years since this was posted. Thanks for your work.
