Hello All, 

My year total so far is 20 sp not counting the Agonopterix sp. I am lumping both heracliana and ciliella from now on, as they cannot be reliably separated without gen det.

I'm glad to see the Orthosias are back on form after a poor year in 2013. My only new species so far this year is  Agonopterix ocellana. I wonder what else could turn up?
