Amorbia synneurana back to full species?

MPG plate for Amorbia synneurana says it was restored to full species in MONA Fascicle 8.1: http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=3750&state=SWT. Several of the Arizona images including mine and Randy's look like A. synneurana, with no dark terminal border on the forewing. Though I don't know if that's indeed how you separate the two.

A. synneurana

I found no evidence that A. cuneanum is in Arizona.

Based on DNA barcode, it looks like synneurana, emigratella and cuneanum are part of a complex which includes undescribed species. The type of emigratella is from Hawaii where it had been introduced from the main land. However, DNA barcode does separate specimens from Hawaii from any other specimens. There are seven BIN groups for these three species at BOLD. One has specimens only from Costa Rica and contains apparently misidentified as emigratella given the wide separation by DNA barcode. The BIN for Hawaii, though separated, is very close to the other 5 BINs. One BIN has specimens only from southern CA. They are identified as synneurana and they are close to synneurana from AZ, the type locality for that species.

Moved to Amorbia cuneana

Moved from Tortricid Moths.

Tentative ID. See comment below. I also downloaded the image and lowered the exposure. The result showed a lot more detail which seemed to be consistent with that ID.

I'm not sure, but that may be

I'm not sure, but that may be Amorbia cuneana.
