Not Loxocrambus canellus... I'm pretty sure it's Cacotherapia
Moved from Loxocrambus canellus.

I moved this here so I would not get it in the wrong area if I am wrong, but I really think it is . What do you think?

I agree
Good eye Ann- Thanks! I think you are correct. The moth is a good match. Not being able to find this one has bothered me. In addition, the original description here http://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/8190247 is consistent with size (15 mm wingspan) and the large eye. The geography is also right.
