  1. The app I use (which uses image recognition) suggests ilatima pseudacaciella as main candidate, but I would not expect it to pick up the subtle differences between these two choices :) Your suggestion looks visually closer to me.
    It also suggests "chionodes" as a second candidate genus.

    1. F. pseudacaciella larvae feed on black locust which does not occur locally so that is one reason I discounted that species. Chinodes I'll need to look that genus over again. Posted 4 years ago
