Well...
Terry's the expert here; I just move things according to his IDs. There is the possibility that other similar species have been described since Braun's 1908 revision, but until one is brought to our attention, it's reasonable to assume that the ID is correct.

Ah!
Then thank you, Terry, for the ID! And Charley for moving it. I thought if the person who identified it was sure of the ID, they moved it, so it appeared that, by moving it, you were confirming it. Thanks for explaining. Nice to get an ID for a moth that's been in here for a while. :)

Cameraria bethunella
The best match of the species covered in Braun's revision is Cameraria bethunella.

Thank you
It certainly looks, superficially, like the only other photo of that in the guide.

moth
Resembles Phyllonorycter. I think it would be safe to move the photo to the Leaf Blotch Miner Moths (Gracillariidae).
