Ponometia Moth - Ponometia phecolisca
San Pedro River Valley, SE of San Manuel, Pinal County, Arizona, USA
October 19, 2012
I think this is Ponometia nannodes Hodges#9097, but there are some differences with the other photos here on BG, in the posterior edge, the large dark posterior spot around the reniform spot, and the small black lateral spot. Any ideas?

Thanks
Those are very useful comments. This moth is different from either of those species in particular with the position of the spot anterior to the reniform spot. I think it looks most like Hodges#9098 (Ponometia phecolisca) - lots of variation in individuals. Thank you!
