Moved to C. subrufa
Moved from Cisthene. This is a perfect example of what I see as Tamaulipan Lichen Moth (C. subrufa):
-- Colors are pale yellow.
-- Basal streaks are rounded (convex margins) and stop well short of the PM band.
-- PM band is wider at inner margin than at costal margin.
-- Ground color is dark brownish gray.
-- Middle legs are banded and the middle tibia are mostly yellow (often just yellow in mid-1/3).
