Your Pero honestaria is probably P. ancetaria.  P. honestaria doesn't have the 
spot near the middle of the forewing outer margin.

Some of the plates of living specimens of these species have been mixed up for 
awhile. Bob Patterson has been notified and is looking into the matter. The 
pinned specimen plates are all correct.

After a very busy start of this month, the moth "lull" took over this week.  
This gives me a chance to ID & share some moth photos with you all.  

There are two unknowns in here; would appreciate some help.  The first unknown 
could be 10962 – Xestia perquiritata, or it may not be.
