Not sure
There is only one DAN barcoded New World specimen at BOLD, sample CNCLEP00074884 from Mexico City, and it is separated from A. catalaunalis by 3%. I think that it and specimens from the southwest may be an undescribed species.

Any chance of getting this dissected and barcoded?

BTW - I added your adult live and pinned images to MPG. Thanks!

Antigastra in Arizona
These moths showed up en-mass in 2011, but I've not seen another since, so I think they migrated here from the south. I will see if I have the specimen somewhere.
