Thanks Ken for the insight. I posted both pics to bugguide and will see if they
come up with anything different.

Kyle,
I don't have a clue how to tell the 2 species apart. Chytonix palliatricula is
variable and the few pics labeled as sensilis fit right into the mix of what
I'd call palliatricula. I'm wondering how those ID's were made. IMHO, the first
one you posted is too worn to be called anything but a Chytonix sp.

Thanks Harry! Would that be just this moth that you are referring to, or my
other one? And any idea on how to tell the two Chytonix apart? I think that for
C. sensilis, the dark curved line (forgetting the name now) from the side of
the wing touches the reniform spot, whereas for C. palliatricula, the line
doesn't touch the reniform spot; however, I can't find this anywhere. I know
that C. palliatricula has that form with white patches.

Kyle,
Your moth looks to me like a good match for the southern dark form of C.
palliatricula in the Peterson Guide.
