Not way off base at all. The
Not way off base at all. The reason you can't find the name of this moth is because it hasn't been described yet. It is well known and will be named Schizura patagonia. That is a male.

 
Schizura obligata
Pretty sure this is Schizura obligata (Dyar, 1919), rev. sat. in Miller et al. (2021), MONA Fascicle 22.1B, previously treated as a synonym of Ianassa limosoides (Schaus). It matches pl. A-16, fig. 39.

Correction would be appreciated if I got it wrong. Any word on the undescribed species, or was it perhaps determined to be obligata?

 
Wow!
that's great information ERand!

THANKS!
