Crambid Moth - Hodges #4785 - Eoparargyractis irroratalis
Mobile (Dog River), Mobile County, Alabama, USA
March 31, 2012
P. fulicalis seems the only likely Petrophila candidate, either visually or distribution. Eoparargyractis irroratalis appears a likely candidate, except the median area is not as "tight" (more white area between AM and shading) as P. fulicalis.

Still, there seems to be a lack of consistency in images on BG, MPG and BOLD. The BOLD images are not as distinctly marked and may well be products of a Malaise trap.

Moved
Moved from Feather-edged Petrophila. Elements which point to Eoparargyractis include:
-- Dark brown lines flanking the brown AM band on both the FW and HW.
-- The more basal pre-apical white wedge is very narrow (much narrower than the subterminal one) and is preceded in the PM area by a wide white wedge.
-- The inner black eyespots on the HW lack the charactertistic thin black line on top.
-- The extensive orange suffusion between and in front of the HW eyespots is more characteristic of Eoparargyractis.
Mobile is hundreds of miles southwest of the nearest solid records of fulicalis.
