Small Necklace Moth

Description:

Hypsoropha hormos at my porch light. A very laterally compressed moth--it is hard to get much of it in focus. Wing chord about 15 mm (measured here), giving a winspan of about 32 mm.The genus name, Hypsoropha, makes no sense. I think it is likely a typographic error for Greek roots hypso high, plus morpha form (or grapha mark). I may have read that somewhere, but heck if I can find the reference.
