Thanks Richard
It's nice getting a name on this one, especially down to species.

Shinia perminuta (11091)
I researched this moth in Dr. David Harwick's book, A Monograph to the North American Heliothentinae, plate H, figure H11. I have a nice research collection of these Heliothentinae moths, but I do not have a specimen of Shinia perminuta. I imagine that few people do.
