Coordinator notes: On the basis of range and the dark gray forewings, I believe this is S. hubbardi. Tuskes, Tuttle, and Collins text "The Wild Silkmoths of North America", 1996, state that H. heiligbrodti ranges in south and central TX with S. hubbardi ranging from w. TX to AZ. Specimens of S. heiligbodti I collected in Bexar Co, TX had much paler gray forewings than this sighting, which is consistent with what the referenced text states for that species. SAT
