Note on ID
None of the adults have yet been examined by anyone, but Keiferia inconspicuella is highly likely based on host, leaf mine characteristics, and location.

Thank you for the update--if
Thank you for the update--if we wanted someone to look at it, is Sangmi Lee an option? She was pretty responsive with specimens I sent to her.

That's good to know
All the ones I reared are now in the CNC, and unfortunately their gelechiid specialist is no longer there, so I don't know when those might get any attention. I do still have the D1107 adults that you reared though, so once I have a critical mass of gelechiid specimens I will get in touch with her.
