I'm not sure what to make of these
The beginning of the mines is narrow and filled with frass, and the rest is clean; none was expelled. Seems Elachista-like, but no eggshell at the beginning. Monochroa is the only gelechioid we've reared from Rhynchospora... There were also aborted Acalyptris and Taphrocerus mines in this vial.

I think D4010 (two vials) will have more of these (or at least, more of some kind of miner on Rhynchosporoa milliacea...)
