It was a new one for me this year. The range was originally thought to be the southwest but it's turning out it's more widespread than originally thought or maybe it's expanding its range. Also, until recently it wasn't thought to have a brown form but brown ones have been confirmed through DNA.

I had a fair number of Thin-lined Chlorochlamys Moths this year and it doesn't quite match what they looked like so I think I'll have to go with Synchlora aerata.
