ID Update:
This Nycteola specimen has been determined by BOLD Systems to be a distinct species from the five known species in North America. Also the DNA for this specimen is a 100% to 99.89% match with six other similar looking specimens that have been submitted to BOLD Systems; and, currently, these specimens are now placed at the species level as an undescribed species: Nycteola n. sp..

Images of these specimens may be viewed here at BOLD's Public Data Portal - BIN Page for this species.
And here for just this specimen's Record Page at BOLD Systems.

The nearest current genetic match is Nycteola columbana, a European species.

This specimen stored at the Biodiversity Institute of Ontario.
