Moved tentatively
Moved from Tortricinae. Comment from Jason Dombroskie: “Weird. Probably A. myricana, I'd like to dissect that one.” Do you have the specimen?

 
Hi Aaron
Thanks for sharing this comment from Jason Dombroskie, and for moving this series. Sorry to take so long to reply. I wanted to wait to reply until I'd had a chance to check my stored specimens for this moth. I finally was able to check, and the specimen is evidently lost as I can find it nowhere. I lost some tortricids to mold a while back and I think this might've been one of them. A disappointment...

Thank you for your inquiry, though :)

 
Ah well
You can always hope to find another!

 
Yes...
...and it was a pretty straightforward rearing, I think, so hopefully I'll be able to take another stab at it.
