Pyralid ZH3Z3773 - Apomyelois bistriatella
Monhegan Island, Lincoln County, Maine, USA
August 27, 2008
Closest thing I could find was 5721 – Apomyelois bistriatella but I think that's a western moth.

Moved
Moved from Phycitini.

Bob Patterson agrees with this tentative ID, Apomyelois bistriatella. It is found in east US as well as Europe.

Moved
Moved from Moths.

Looks like the Myelopsis from here
and perhaps Myelopsis subtetricella - Acorn Moth 5718. It would be interesting to have a DNA sequence on this NE specimen.

 
Phycitini Tribe
This moth is in the Phycitini tribe but #5718 is not in north-east fauna. I'm thinking possibly something closer to a sweetgum leafroller. Surely Maury or BP will know

from Canada through the US, as far south as Southern California and Florida
