Moved
Moved from Cisthene. I concur with Kentucky Lichen Moth. The black ground color and the wide basal orange streak which is broadly connected to the broad PM band are all consistent with Kentucky. The smoothly concave forward edge of the PM band eliminates other contenders like One-banded (unifascia). Kentucky has previously been documented well down onto peninsular FL (e.g. Barcode of Life Data Systems).

Cisthene
Moved from ID Request.

Hindwing view really helps with this group, but we should be able to place it by date/location.
Thanks
