Moth - Acontia n-sp-one

Moth - Acontia n-sp-one
Copperas Cove, Coryell County, Texas, USA
on white sheet/blacklight on my back patio

Size?
There are similar images of A. cretata at BOLD. Size would help. The new species has wing length ~8 mm vs ~11 mm for cretata.

Moved tentatively
Moved from Acontia. Compare to the male on Poole's site.

Moved
Moved from Moths.

Moved
Moved from ID Request.

Wasn't sure whether we would find this in
Ponometia or Schinia, so we looked in both, and didn't find it in either!
We did get excited by dorneri, but don't think so :(

Luckily we can all trust that Maury will know! :)

 
not sure on this one
I had seen this Acontiini photo posted and sent it to Knudson. Hope to get his thoughts when he is back.
Thanks
