I'm satisfied, but here it is for posting. And as a reminder, I saw it in Rutherford County, Tennessee and the only color was what you see. Please let me know if any new ideas come up.

If the body on your moth had no orange-yellow than I'm at a loss. If you would like I could post it on tn-moths. If so I suggest you send me the photo again with any comments you would like to include. Then I could just forward it to the group.

I've never seen that one before. But I'm still confused about the Cyncnia. I came up with the same genus, just by comparison. Should I be concerned that the photos of C. oregonensis have a yellow-orange body and my specimen did not?

Nice moths. Larry From: davidduhl@xxxxxxxxxxx To: larrycmcd@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Moths Date: Sat, 18 Jun 2011 16:43:36 -0500 You're right, it is overwhelming. I did not see these moths on your Flickr page. I have no clue about #1632. I would call # 1629 Cycnia tenera, but it doesn't have a yellow margin on the wigs. In fact, it had no markings (on top or bottom) except what you see. Thanks again for looking at these and for the web sites you showed me.

A couple of websites I use are http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/Plates.shtml and http://bugguide.net/node/view/15740 These can be overwhelming at first. My Flickr photo collection has been helpful and a lot easier. http://www.flickr.com/photos/27634081@N06/sets/72157608707935389/ Larry McDaniel From: davidduhl@xxxxxxxxxxx To: larrycmcd@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Moths Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2011 20:53:41 -0500 Hello, Larry. I have images of two moths that I would like help identifying. Richard Connors in Nashville suggested I contact you about it. I was wondering if you would be kind enough to look at the images or to suggest a contact who might do that or even a web site where I can get started. Thanks David
