Image of Crocidomera imitata Neunzig 1990

Description:

I'm usually pretty shy about identifying Phycitine Pyralid moths to species but this seems like a good match to Crocidomera imitata, based on the following characters: 1. Extensive whitish ground color, 2. Distinctive dark dotted PM line and bold dots on terminal line; 3. Extensive dusky mottling near rear margins of FWs, creating a wide dusky patch on the folded wings. Compare with MPG and BG: http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=5706 http://bugguide.net/node/view/247452 The species has previously been recorded in CenTex.
