Edwards County, Texas, USA

There are not many of the brown ones in this genus. I think this might be Hodges #4768 – Usingeriessa brunnildalis. Would anyone agree with me? It appeared on my patio window in the middle of the day. It was hard to photograph because it picked up a lot of sheen. 9/29/14 - I am more confident of this ID. See from Uvalde County.

Moved to Usingeriessa onyxalis
Moved from Usingeriessa brunnildalis. Two main lines of evidence now suggest that all of the Texas images of this genus belong in U. onyxalis:

1. Two specimens from Edwards Co. (A. Hendrickson), including this example, submitted for barcoding cluster closely within a long series of U. onyxalis from Costa Rica; BOLD BIN AAA0337.

2. All of the Texas images (Edwards, Kendall, Kimble, Uvalde, and Travis Cos.) closely match the description of U. onyxalis in Munroe's fascicle on the subfamily (1) as well as Dyar's 1906 description(2) of "Elophila cancellalis" from nearby Val Verde Co., TX, which Munroe synonymized with U. onyxalis.(1)
