This looks like a Terry Harrison kind of moth. Perhaps something Gelechiinae?

Phycitine?
This is not something that I recognize. I don't believe that it is anything gelechioid, because the terminal segment of the labial palp in this moth is very short. The shape and posture are most suggestive of a phycitine pyralid, but there doesn't appear to be a good match for it on the plates at MPG.

 
Good News!
Terry,
Not having seen anything like it, I collected a voucher specimen. I'll place in Pyralids for now. I have a batch I've of other moth I've been wanting to get together for BOLD. Thanks

Hello Robert,

Did you ever get an answer? If so, we need to move.
