New SE Arizona species since 2007

[Bruce Walsh]

In addition to the 15 new species of nocutids from the just published Zookeys
39, AT LEAST another 6 Nocutids and 7 geos have also been described since 2007,
plus several other things in the pipeline (i.e., about to appear), which are not
listed here. I'm sure that I've missed a few.

Bottom line:  A great time to be a moth-er!
