I cannot find examples on the web showing the dark spot in the forewing basal area. The rest of the forewing pattern looks good for Anisogona.

Anisogona thysanoma looks OK to me on this evidence

Yes, I think A thysanoma and M. ursina are often difficult to tell apart. Both moths have a concave shaped forewing termen, but it seems to be more pronounced in A. thysanoma. Comparing them on Bold Systems 4 is instuctive. Markings along the costa seem more distinnt in M. ursina, Many A. thysanoma seem to have the distinct basal forewing diffuse 'dot' whereas in M. ursina it seems, to me at least. to lack that dot. Until recently, we haven't had mnany local examples to compare them.
