Hodges #8354.99 - Florida Zanclognatha - Zanclognatha sp. - Zanclognatha n-sp
Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida, USA
May 27, 2013
Size: forewing ~10mm
At outdoor light. Chytolita morbidalis is the only reasonably close possibility, taking into account that this species' PM and AM lines apparently are very variable. However, unlike what I see on the posted images, the ST line of my moth is not a row of spots or wedges but what appears to be a jagged line, and my moth definitely has a wingspan that is less than the 29-35mm listed on the Guide Page.
Edit: I forgot that I posted the same type of moth a month ago here - at that time I thought it might be a Zanclognatha.

Perhaps Zanclognatha sp.
Maybe it is in both cases the elusive "undescribed" #8354.97 Zanclognatha floridana shown here and here.
