Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Came in to the house lights. Only one observed, and it flew off after I took this picture. The pictures of H. deceptorium are the best match I could find on the internet, but it could be some other family/genus. Looks like these two species were split recently, with a record of H. ardaloniphas from North Dakota?
