rubidella
I need to change the ID from A. roseosuffusella to A. rubidella. The pattern is similar in those two, but all of the confirmed roseosuffusella that I have seen have had more of a contrast between the light and dark diagonal bars on the forewing than is seen here, whereas rubidella has much less contrast, as seen in this moth.
