Description

Looks to be perfectly matched to Jerry Powell images at MPG here http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=985

Quite large Ethmia. Peppered gray throughout cells FW with narrow black line from base to apex, making a jag one-third from base, then interrupted by white colored small gap two-thirds from base.

This species abundant at metal halide light sheet this evening.
