Coleophora laurentella 1263 - Coleophora

Coleophora laurentella 1263 - Coleophora
Bay Center, Pacific County, Washington, USA
Size: wingspan ±14 mm
Coleophora laurentella 1263 (100%)
Sample ID: BIOUG45533-C12

Project: RWWC
Institution Storing: Centre for Biodiversity Genomics
Field ID: 5418 08/06/18

To repeat the prievous post: Species level match could not be made for certain as C. laurentella is 100% but C. asterophagella has a high of 99.85% with both mixed down to 99.63%. Will call it C. laurentella but DNA suggests C. laurentella is a synonym of C. asterophagella with the earlier description.
See earlier specimens from here. Rare
