Fw: Unknown moth

[mothman]

Hi fellow moth enthusiasts

    I am seeking confirmation of Stretchia plusiaeformis. I photographed
this specimen near Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, in April of last
year. The only image of this species I have seen is in the Ontario Cutworm
book (Rockburne & Lafontaine, Fig. 169); they give a locality of
north-central Ontario. Forbes also gives north-central Ontario and then
Alberta and west. If this specimen is plusiaeformis then it's about 2,000 Km
east of known records!! There is one record in the Lep. Soc. Season Summary:
Laramie, Wyoming.
    If not plusiaeformis, then what?

Thanks

Tony
