0884 -- Thelma's Agonopterix Moth -- Agonopterix thelmae

Larry Line spread the two specimens to reveal the hind wings. I assume for now that the differences seen between these two individuals is normal variation within this species. Additional similar Agonopterix species exist. We have not yet encountered them. The common name used here is of my invention.
