Ian's specimen is very pale compared to the photos of Proteuxoa cinereicollis specimens in BOLD and ALA.
Are there some specimens in ANIC this pale?

Michael's specimen, not mine! There is a similalrly light one posted on the ALA (Ken Harris).

Relative lightness or darkness is very difficult to judge when comparing just single photos of two specimens. There are however several species with similar light collars and forewing patterns, so there is some doubt. I think the most likely alternative is P. restituta. Both have been recorded often on Black mountain. The latter has a white hindwing which makes it easy to distinguish from cinereicollis, but photos of a naturally resting moth don't show it.

Yes Glenn: I think Proteuxoa restituta is a good match, and it has been found in ACT
