Two species known from the island
Antispila ampelopsifoliella, known from mines in Parthenocissus cinquefolia, and Antispila n. sp., from mines in Myrica pensylvanica (David Wagner and Mike Nelson, unpublished data). Both host species occur within feet of the location where I found this moth.

Antispila ampelopsifoliella group?
I don't know how many spp. are in this group as the guide page doesn't say, though it does point out the silvery subapical spot that defines the group. Looks like Charley's:

Looks it
This is actually a new superfamily for me (and for RI on BG). No wonder I couldn't think of what this might be!
