This doesn't look quite like the variable A. affinitalis, it seems narrower. but it doesn't look like A. massalis either, the single previous record is a typical one. I'm wondering if it is some other Pyraloid.

I don't think this is Achyra massalis - see the other reports for that species. It might be one of the Scoparia.

Scoparia oxygona? Seems the most similar of those I can see on thr ALA. See also signting No. 4379295.
