I have looked at images of Heliothis punctifera and other close species they look very different to this moth. I have not found anything else to suggest instead.

Given the black spots, should this be moved under Calathusa (genus). Therer are no moths with spots under Calathusa basicunea on ALA.

Yes, all three of are happy ts C. basicunea for now, I think, but later review is possible.

We should review all the Calathuse. Three of them that I know of have these sort of black spots in some specimens, basicunea and ischnodes that CNM has, and hypotherma mainly from the coast but it might turn up here.
