Hale flava / kusala / wantona

[Psyche]

It should be Halpe toxopea although the location is a bit further north.

The HW interneural dark spots & the marginal spots are large & nearly merged so that the pale area appears as a central band.
The species with this feature include .
H. porus with well-defined band & twin FW cellspots.

H. flava; FW spots 2 & 3 broadly overlapping.

Halpe kusala. FW spots 2 & 3 with half overlap; HW band less defined & submarginal pale spots more obvious.

Halpe toxopea. FW spots 2 & 3 with little overlap. Subapical spots reduced, may be one.
