Light trap. A Melandryid. I couldn't get any further myself and was
incorrect on a guess of Orchesia.

Phloiotrya sp. -- det. D.A. Pollock
his comment: "that's about as far as I can go; yet another melandryid genus with relatively few species but with crappy taxonomy/nomenclature -- I know, I know... I should do something about it, right?"

Moved from Serropalpini.

Melandryidae
Thanks v for the reply and relay. I have to get Paul off the hook on
this one. I just revisited my chicken scratching and the only thing
he wrote on the container was "Melandryidae", I was the one that made
the mistake to put it with the wrong genus tag.

no Orchesia; something along the Phloiotrya/Zilora/Xylita lines
will revisit

Moved from Orchesia.
