Moved to Gonioterma crambitella
Moved from Concealer Moths.

Bob Patterson agrees with Gonioterma crambitella so moving to species.

could be 1033 – Gonioterma crambitella
the apex of the forewing is fairly acute and it appears to have worn dark dots along the outer margin. Did you collect this one so we could see the shape of the hind wing? Opler lists it TX to AZ so Arkansas is very possible.

Thanks...
Thanks for nailing this ID, Maury. I did not collect for confirmation, but Gonioterma crambitella seems to be the consensus ID nonetheless.

Thanks, Steve. Looks good to me, but we're way beyond my ID skills.

Oecophoridae?
I think this is in Oecophoridae but found no matches.
