Southern Hayworm Moth - Hodges#5531 (Hypsopygia nostralis)
Photo#668428

Peter Homann
moth without ID -
Hypsopygia nostralis
Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida, USA
June 12, 2012
Size: 10-15 mm
At light; cannot identify - not Arta and not Parachma, I believe, but what about Condylolomia participalis that is not listed for Florida. Unfortunately no view of posture and legs.

Ocrasa nostralis - Hodges#5531 appears most likely
Moved from
ID Request
.
Does not appear to have the "shoulders" (bulky near wing base) and the greenish color is variable. A view of the forelegs is always helpful with this group.

Ocrasa
Thank you , Maury, for providing the ID so promptly. I actually had marked Ocrasa from Bob Patterson’s gallery and then ignored it – presumably because of wing color. My mistake. I noticed that MPG puts nostralis into genus Hypsopygia, and BugGuide into Ocrasa. Is this unsettled?

Hypsopygia
Peter,
Hypsopygia
is the current genus. Bug Guide was outdated but I fixed it. The photos will take some time to make the move as the system catches up.
Thanks for noticing the error!
