I caught what I think is a Xylena nupera moth and while looking up some info
on it. I got a bit confused by the specimens Identified in Moths of Western
North America by Powell and Opler. Plate 53 specimens 35 and 36. My
specimen looks exactly like #36 Xylena brucei but the range is off for me
in southern Minnesota.
But when I look up the specimen on the Moth photographers site I get a match
with X. nupera.

I am thinking that 35 and 36 are switched around?
What do you guys think?
