ID Request - Aleptina inca
Camp Wood, Edwards County, Texas, USA
August 21, 2012
Size: apx 10 mm.
Do the Yellow Based Cacozelia's sometimes look like this? I also have one with at larger yellow area and evident maroon lines, but some where I got the idea that there was also a gray version.

OOPS - It was the Aleptina inca I was remembering! However, I still think this looks like a Cacozelia variation.

Aleptina Moth - Hodges#9071
Moved from ID Request.
Ann,
ID based on Maury's ID of Terry Hibbitt's Aleptina Moth. The light patch in the median area along the inner margin of FW, shown in your detail, matches Maury's Aleptina. Still, I'm not 100% certain, as A. clinopetes also looks like a viable candidate.

Ooops
Thank you Robert. I should have caught that too. At the time I had seen Terry's post and noticed it was the gray one, but did not go back through my photographs. I had this one filed with my Cacozelia.
