3763 -- Cochylis pimana (Tortricidae, Cochylini)
Michael Sabourin, Referee for Cochylini at Moth Photoghraphers Group, concurs with this ID. Perhaps I should point of that John Brown, et al., in World Catalog of Insects Vol. 5 (2005), have this species assigned to "Cochylini New Genus 5 [pimana group]" along with the species yuccatana. There are many species of Tortricidae whose taxonomic placements are far from resolved.

Similar to 3763W -- Cochylis pimana ....
... I'll try to get an opinion from our Cochylid expert.
