These
Moths were photographed at the restrooms on I10 just east of El Paso, El Paso county, Texas on July 14, 2012:-
Update July 24, 2012: with help from James Adams and Barbara Ribble I have come up with some tentative IDs. I'd really appreciate getting some confirmatory (or not) feedback - thanks:
1) Digrammia colorata CLICK HERE to go to the MPG page for this taxon:
2)
Bulia deducta CLICK HERE to go to the MPG page for this taxon:
3) Azenia implora. The two separated pure black small spots, dark-dotted fringe, and median band of soft dark patches all point to implora; MPG shows no records for Texas but Texas Lepidoptera Survey does have it as occurring in El Paso county.. CLICK HERE to go to the MPG page for this taxon:
4)
Glaucina - possibly ochrofuscaria? Tough to match properly, but the thin dark radial line near the rear of the FW, plus two soft bands of whitish "V"s with the outer being submarginal, and the strongly grizzled visible corner of the HW are all consistent with ochrofuscaria, and I don't see any other taxon that comes close in regard to these specific features. On MPG the easternmost record is central Arizona but Texas Lepidoptera Survey does have it for west Texas. CLICK HERE to go to the MPG page for this taxon:
