Moved
Moved from Butterflies and Moths.

I spent a lot of time on this moth going through all the spreads for this super family and could not find it. It most reminds me of Genus Agrippa but non of them have the heavy median line, etc.

I even considered Dyotopasta yumaella and Xylesthia pruniramiella but this would have to be a VERY strange palp position for either of them.

 
I’ve been thinking this is a tineid
With Dyotopasta the most similar I found, though not especially similar.

 
Interesting
What do you suggest we do with it? I checked all of my files and could not find any sign of a palp like this, so I chose to move it per the palps.

Appreciate the effort!
