Dichomeris setosella?
How was this identified? Range? BOLD is no help. The ones that look like pinned examples at MPG were not barcoded. Those that were barcoded are in the same BIN with D. bilobella and have a pm. line curved toward the apex. Compounding the problem is a BIN for Dichomeris sp., BOLD:AAH5370, which contains images that look the same as Mark’s MPG image of vindex with the pm. very slightly curved outward.

One of the MPG live images was a likely D. bilobella and has been removed. Not sure about Ken's but his looks like his other examples of setosella. So MPG may have not good live images.

 
How identified?
By guess and by golly. I can delete it - no prob.

 
Not Yet
This may be the only image we have that actually is correct.

 
Added a "pseudo-lateral" if that helps
