Palthis angulalis??

I've never seen such a dark Palthis angulalis, but I'm not sure what else it could be.

Some photos of Lascoria ambigualis are equally dark and it's somewhat of a match, but still think yours is much more likely. Posted 4 years ago

  Hmm, thanks for the input. I think I'll just go ahead and add the Palthis ID for now. Posted 4 years ago

    I'd go with Palthis. The AM line on this one is curved while in Lascoria ambigualis it is mostly straight. Also, the palps are very long for Lascoria ambigualis. Posted 4 years ago
