Moved to Euacidalia quakerata
Moved from Euacidalia sericearia.

Tentative ID. Matches original description well and images at BOLD.

Concur
There is some indication (BOLD specimens) that the PM line is much straighter on E. quakerata as shown on this moth, whereas on most sericearia, the PM line tends to bend back slightly as it nears the costal margin. That said, I'm not familiar with other AZ possibilities.

7089 – Euacidalia quakerata?
I don't think this is Euacidalia sericearia as it does not seem to match the original description here.

This does seem to better match the original description of Euacidalia quakerata found here.
