0486 – Bucculatrix montana?
These 2 moths look a lot like MPG.

They look identical to me
I suppose they're as likely to be that species as your other one is--which I decided to make a species page for since it's featured on the MPG page. Hopefully if we're wrong, Terry Harrison will set us straight eventually.

Probably Bucculatrix solidaginiella
Braun (1963) (1) illustrates the genitalia of both species. Tom's dissected Bucculatrix previously show at MPG as montana is solidaginiella per Terry Harrison. It's fairly identical to this one.
