I didn't notice last night that the photo could be enlarged. I clearly shouldn't try to do insect identifications after midnight ... ;-> N.B. Covell (1984) points out that the North American subspecies of the Holarctic species is Anania funebris glomeralis (Walker). The larvae feed on on goldenrod (Solidago sp.). There are records of this species from all over the province. Cheers!
