Unknown Midwestern Moths

Hello,

> 2.   Noctuidae:  Psaphida rolandi (formerly in the genus Eutolype but moved to
> Psaphida in Bob Pooles Cuculliinae revidion in MONA).

Dr. Lafontaine probably knows better than I. I thought a not-so-boldly
marked P. electilis. I don't have my collection in front of me for
reference, but doesn't P. rolandi often have a sort of brownish tinge?  
Ah, the dangers of 'picture-booking'....
