Seen while blacklighting during the 2023 Carysfort Bioblitz. Thanks to Trudy F for meeting me at 2:30AM to let me in to this wonderful area!. I set up two sheets about 15 meters apart (location listed is accurate), using cheapy DJ blacklights connected to USB battery packs. It was fairly windy, making for difficult macro photography conditions and I probably didn't do the best job at documenting everything at the sheets. I didn't photograph much of the extra tiny stuff (less than 4mm) due to the windy conditions. Mosquitoes were pretty thick, which also made it difficult to focus on the bugs on the sheet. I was joined by Stefan Rhoades and Andres Vila later in the night, and some of our observations may overlap.

Info about the cheapy DJ blacklights I used, great for getting started with blacklighting: https://www.inaturalist.org/journal/damontighe/11836-diy-moth-light
Here's a video showing the DJ blacklights in action at the Pinecrest campground (Big Cypress) from Summer 2019: https://youtu.be/tavmTa7WoPk

Exciting! Instantly recognizable as the new genus & species first photographed by @chloe_and_trevor & identified as that by C.R. Bartlett: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/107311379
Some notes:
1) Collected four specimens, two in 90% alcohol. Will deposit them in a collection (e.g., UC Riverside or could send them to UDelaware if there is interest)
2) Likely host-specific on Bebbia juncea. I consistently found them on Bebbia, but not on any other plants in the area. Should make collecting these much easier...
3) The darkness of the wing band seems quite variable
4) Not sure the status of this, e.g., if a description effort is already underway. But would be great to get this described (and perhaps also to be involved)
