In March of 2010 I had taken a photo of a moth and spent the better part of an hour trying to I.D. it by comparing to pictures at bugguide.net. No Luck, so I posted the photo at that website. One of the resident moth experts wrote the following:
"Probably 3731.96 - Sparganothis n. sp.
This is a pretty good match for a specimen from Alabama found in the Mississippi Entomological Museum where it is labeled as an undescribed new species."
So, I moved it to that genus and left it to languish with others that didn't have enough detail to be identified as to species.
This past week I received a "subscription update" on my entry. Seems that another of the experts moved my entry to
Cenopis unicolorana - Hodges#3707.1 (Cenopis unicolorana), a new guide page he created.
I'm pleased to say that my encounter with photos is the ONLY one listed for this species.
