I am suggesting Pseudanapaea sp. because of it similarity to a previously posted moth originally thought to be P, denotata because of it similarty to P. denotata as illustrated and secribed on Lepidoptera Butterfly House, see Sighting No. 3391165. However we agreed to ID it as Pseudonapaea p. due to the acknowledged uncertainty regarding ID of this genus. It lacks the prominent white markings of P. transvestita (assuming those markings are unique to that species).
