Hopefully someone can confirm my ID here. Looks most like the image by M. White at MPG. Seems to be only one other TX image here. Found at light, thanks.

Amount of buff/brown in terminal area?
I can't find definitive descriptions of how to seperate at least 3 spp of Dicymolomia in Texas. But it seems to me that D. grisea is characterized by having the subterminal and terminal area (beyond the PM line) almost entirely in shades of black and white, with little or no buff, brown, or chesnut color. This example seems to diverge from that.
