Last year
this one was ided as Euchaetes zella (Euchaetes zella - Hodges#8232)
this seemed somewhat problematic as there is no milk weed anywhere. But the other Hypoprepia (Charles Melton's) is from a completely different habitat

Euchaetes
Hypoprepia inculta has a longitudinal streak,and has much different head pattern.
Sorry for the confusion. :)
Will do some checking on the host plant.
Thanks!

You're welcome! :)
Keep those AZ moths coming!

NHM HOST database listed Sarcostemma crispum [Funastrum crispum]

Listed on the species page is Comstock & Dammers (1935) reporting the rearing on Funastrum cynanchoides [Philibertia heterophylla].
