Given its broader wigs and pinker hue than heliocausta, I think it's Garrha leucerythra

I didn't think it was Garrha due to the lack of striated antennae.

Good point, I'll check out the specimens.

G. leucerythra antennae are not as distinctively banded as with many Garrha species. It some specimens it shows moderately, but scarecely at all in others and photos do not always pick it up (eg as in previous CNM records).
