Herpetogramma theseusalis - Hodges#5279 - Herpetogramma theseusalis
Whitesbog Village, Browns Mills, Burlington County, New Jersey, USA
July 26, 2013
There are so many that look so close this may not be IDable. After going through BG and MPG a couple of times I think I'm leaning towards Herpetogramma (probably 5279 based on looks but maybe 5272 being more common), but I may not even have the genus right. That's the best I could do. :-(

5279 - Herpetogramma theseusalis
5272 is close when comparing lines, but I think the fringe/subterminal markings favor 5279. Specimens of the two species at BOLD helped me to make up my mind. I also think we need to review all the photos that have been assigned to these two species.
