This would seem to fit with what is all over the internet as scoliosema including the ACT Mapr. Inaturalist has a least two species that have reached research grade under this name. For mine there are several aspects of the original description that do not fit. 1: Antennae whitish, ringed with dark fuscous, towards apex with several broader dark fuscous rings. 2: Thorax blackish-fuscous, posterior extremity ochreous-whitish. 3: Forewings blackish-fuscous, purplish-tinged; two narrow ochreous-white fasciae. 4: first very oblique, curved inwards. 5: a semicircular ochreous-white costal spot at 4/5, and a small terminal ochreous-white mark opposite: Plus, there is no mention of a spot on the termen. There no images on iBOLD
