Aha! You Haven't Been Watching....
1858 - Telphusa longifasciella. Stephen Luk posted from Ontario and Mark Dreiling from Oklahoma. With any luck it should show up at my place in Maryland. Nice pics.

 
Thanks Bob
Do you happen to know which tribe this falls into? The way this guide is set up for moths, it's difficult to find where to place a new species. None of the internet sources have the tribe listed.

 
Gelechiini
You must visit the All-Leps website to view the complete taxonomic list that is in use here. This is unfortunate. If that list is to be employed here then all the genera should be listed here so that a simple search on genus name will take you to the insertion point in the Guide. I guess no one wants to contribute the labor to accomplish this. The All-Leps list makes much more use of tribal categories than did the Hodges Checklist. I suppose it is possible for someone to print off the All-Leps list so as to have it at hand.
