Euxesta spec.
No idea how many species you have in the US, I only know there are some 120 species described from the New World, with loads of undescribed species in the Neotropics.

I think it's around 31 species in North America north of Mexico. Thanks for the genus ID.

Euxesta /
Acrosticta sp.
Actually, some species in S USA and Mesoamerica currently placed in
Euxesta actually must be transferred to
Acrosticta, and this is one of them. More detailed ID from the pic alone is hardly possible.

Thanks, Valery. I did keep the specimen, for what it's worth.
