Stiria?

[gganweiler at shaw.ca]

Looking at what Poole has to say, yours would be rugifrons based on range 
alone.

Subject: Stiria?

Looking in my drawer of moths to see what's what and I came across a Stiria
that in my younger days I thought was intermixta but after doing a little
searching on the net it looks like there is some choices.  Looks like the
separation is by location so what I have is likely S. rugifrons.  I am
wondering what physical things separate these two moths.  Or is it one of
those DNA things.   I was wondering if you guys had any thoughts?
