Catabenoides terminellus?
See my comment here.

Well, you have turned up something interesting again. About all I can do is ask "the best that I know" about it and send some in for DNA testing.

I see them all the time, so that will not be hard to do.

I checked the Ledpidopterists Database and Bordelon and Knudson have reported each species, 2 terminellus and at 4 vitrina, so I assume they think both are here. The reports were mostly from 2014, one from 2013.

Interesting how long ago Jan brought this subject up and you are now discovering it! The last printed info at the Heritage Library was 2002.
