Acleris articana walkerana
this species is similar to Acleris pulverosana but differs slightly in genitalia and forewing shape -

BOLD data would suggest that walkerana may have at least subspecific status

Acleris a. walkerana BOLD:ACF5694 nearest neighbor BOLD:ACF4284, Acleris arcticana; 1.08%(11/7/22)
