Moved, Glyphidocera

Where are we on this one? It looked like Dr. Dombroskie would put it in depressariine at least. It surely looks like Glyphidocera to me.

Psilocorsis reflexella?

This is just a guess and I may not even have the correct family. Take a look here and here.

Submit it to MPG. Info here.

Follow Up

Per Dr. Jason J. Dombroskie: "There is no good external character that I know of for separating these two groups. I go by FW pattern and use Hodges 1974 for Psilocorsis and if it doesn't match up, I consider other gelechioids. The difficulty with Glyphidocera is a near lack of literature. I would probably need to dissect it, but my impression (=guess) is that it is a depressariine."

So my guess was less than stellar.

Not Sure

Was the image submitted to MPG? Maybe it should be moved back to Gelechioidea.

My guess was just that, a guess. It was largely influenced by the palps which have that long skinny look of Psilocorsis. The palps of Glyphidocera seem to be shorter and thicker but I see now that those of G. septentrionella are similar. I'll see if I can find an expert to comment.
