Matigramma sp.
This looks more like a Matigramma sp. to me. See .

In comparison with Triphosa californiata, this moth's thorax seems too thick, and its wings too narrow. Also, the HW on Triphosa californiata is unmarked, but the HW on this moth has definite markings.

An identification past genus may be very tough, as it seems to frequently require dissection to be certain. I certainly am not proficient enough to make a stab at a species id.

tissue moth?
Maybe one of the tissue moths? The closest I can find is 7287 W – Triphosa californiata
