User's notes
Attracted to UV Lepiled light at night. This image clearly shows the male branched antennae with their shorter pectinations than in E. excursaria. There are also clear dots on the hindwing main line which distinguishes this species from E. ecursaria.

I think these two characters in this specimen are ambiguous, and without seeing the costal end of the hindwing line, I am reluctant to specify the species.
