Micro Moth - Sufetula carbonalis

Micro Moth - Sufetula carbonalis
Collier-Seminole State Park, Naples, Collier County, Florida, USA
February 26, 2019
Size: 4mm forewing
Help!

Moved to Sufetula carbonalis
Moved from Sufetula diminutalis.

Tentative ID. S. carbonalis is overall darker and "The anterior half of the forewing PM line runs nearly perpendicularly from the costa before turning at a 45° angle (Fig. 1–4).", Hayden (2013), see Info page for reference. The pm. line bends slightly outward from the costa of diminutalis and then sharply angles inwardly at a 90º angle from what I can tell.
