Moved to genus
Moved from Prolita puertella.

This is out of the range of puertella and seems to match barnesiella better which seems less out of range. The BIN for barnesiella is BOLD:ACG7209. However, I suspect that this is whatever the species is represented by BIN BOLD:AAG3892 from about 150 mile due north in Alberta. Same for your Photo #486482.
