Moth - Gerra sevorsa

Moth - Gerra sevorsa
Santa Rita Range / Madera Canyon, Pima County, Arizona, USA
July 26, 2013
I'm not sure what this is - never seen one. Did a search on Arizona Moths & Butterflies, but didn't find a match. Roy Morris pointed it out to me, sitting on his cooler away from the blacklight canvas.

Any IDeas?

THANKS!
