Arizona Moth no ID, few clues - Anoncia

Arizona Moth no ID, few clues - Anoncia
Forest Road 49 in Harshaw Canyon, Santa Cruz County, Arizona, USA
August 24, 2016
Size: small micro 5-7 mm
On sheet with UV black light. Appears to be a Gelechid sp, but with the pear shape of certain Cochylids. Texture somewhat like Mimosa Webworm Moth Hodges 2353. Descales easily to leave shiny bare gray exposed wing. A different specimen with descaling included for comparison. Any ideas out there??

Anoncia
This looks like a moth that has been identified as an undescribed species of Anoncia (Cosmopterigidae), as seen here..
