Chytolita, but which species? - Chytolita morbidalis - female

Chytolita, but which species? - Chytolita morbidalis - Female
Framingham, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA

I am pretty sure this is genus Chytolita, but after examining images and descriptions both here and over at the MPG, I cannot discern which of the two species this is. Can anyone help?

Moved from Chytolita.

Chytolita
The strong powdering of blackish gray scales and the noticeably straightened palpi indicate that this is petrealis, but I should note that those characteristics are not always reliable.
