Noctuoid moths (except Arctiinae)
This moth sub-category for the superfamily Noctuoidea contains the large families Noctuidae and Erebidae as well the smaller Euteliidae, Nolidae, Notodontidae and Oenosandridae. The Arctiinae also belong to this superfamily, but are distinctive and well known so are given their own moth sub-category

I had wondered what the 'white' comment referred to. The ANIC ones on BOLD are all distinctly yellow even the very worn one. iNat (even verified) can only be a guide, in my opinion.

I agree most Micrapatetis icela shown on iNaturalist are white rather than yellowish with a wider white band at the trailing edge, but the specimens shown on Bold (Hobern) are more yellowish with a narrower band at the trailing edge.

I had not read your suggestion before and discussion and had independently arrived at Micrapatetis icela or something close to that.

Taxonomists around the world have various ideas about what the genus of this species is. In NatureMapr we follow AFD, which supports Iropoca.
Iropoca rotundata
