Maple Leafcutter Moth - Hodges#0181

Maple Leafcutter Moth - Hodges#0181
Rancocas Woods, Burlington County, New Jersey, USA
May 13, 2013
Size: Maybe around 4.5 mm?
At first I thought Adela but the antennae are too short.
Microcaddis seems wrong.
Cauchas or Paraclemensia?
I couldn't really get a shot that showed the dark purple sheen.
Measured "nose" to wingtip

Paraclemensia
Definitely Paraclemensia acerifoliella. Most of the head vestiture is worn away, and the remnant of it appears to be less intensely orange than in a newly-emerged adult, but still, there is nothing that this moth could be, other than P. acerifoliella.
