Not Compsolechia crescentifasciella
Sangmi Lee does not believe this is Compsolechia crescentifasciella. It is a near perfect match to a dissected MEM specimen identified as “Anacampsis.” I went through all the Anacampsis includeing those for which MPG has no images. I found no described species north of Mexico which matches this.

Moved from Twirler Moths.

 
ID Info?
How was this identified?

 
Original description and comparison to congeners in the CUIC
No representatives of C. crescentfasciella in the collection though.

 
Not sure
I'm tempted to add it at MPG but it's bigger than described, though otherwise it looks good. The size given is WS = 1/2" (13mm). It is compared to quadrimaculella, now consonella, which is 5/8" (16mm). The FWL of Hal's two specimens is given as 7.5 and 8-9mm.

 
The dimples in the cloth it i
The dimples in the cloth it is sitting on are 1.35 mm apart along the sides of the square, 1.91 mm diagonally across the square. The total length of the specimen is 5 diagonal lengths, so 9.55mm.
