Hypena sp. - Omphalocera cariosa
Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida, USA
August 10, 2014
Size: forewing ~20mm
Near outdoor light. This must be a Hypena, and I thought it would be an easy or even familiar one, but I cannot find any with such a strongly toothed median patch. Which one did I miss?

Pyralidae: Omphalocera cariosa
Moved from Moths.

The antennae positioned back over wings will steer you away from Noctuidae.
Thanks!

How embarrassing.
Thank you, Maury, for the reminder. Yes, I know that antenna criterion but was mislead by the snout. And - I had one 2 years ago and should have known better.
