NMW2017 Moth #25 - Pigritia nr-murtfeldtella-one

NMW2017 Moth #25 - Pigritia nr-murtfeldtella-one
Lincoln, Lancaster County, Nebraska, USA
July 22, 2017
Size: 6 mm
Came to light. Looks like it belongs in Blastobasidae, perhaps yet another Pigritia? Had a hard time telling from the angle, and this is the only shot I got.

Moved
Moved from Pigritia.

Moved

Yes, Pigritia
This is actually a useful angle (though it's nice to see a dorsal shot of the patterning), since it shows that the labial palpi are reduced (i.e. not visible). This provides the genus ID.
