either labradorensis or packardata
Both occur in the west and elsewhere, fly from April to September, and have variable color and pattern.
Covell's description of
labradorensis
could also apply to at least some specimens of
packardata
, and I couldn't find any consistent visual differences among the images I looked at:
labradorensis

packardata

Strangely, U. of California at Berkeley has
2 specimens
of
X. packardata
(7369) and
none
of
X. labradorensis
(7368), yet their
moth list
shows
labradorensis
and not
packardata
. Huh?
