Moth for ID  - Pleurota albastrigulella Moth for I D  - Pleurota albastrigulella

New tribe for the guide!
This genus was sitting under the subfamily level without a tribe. It is a member of Pleurotini, a new tribe for the guide. I have created a page for Pleurotini and move the species and genus so that it is nested under Pleurotini.

Moved to Pleurota albastrigulella
Moved from Crambid Snout Moths.

Tentative ID. Sent this to Terry Harrison who agrees that this appears to represent P. albastrigulella.

1074 – Pleurota albastrigulella?
I don't suppose you collected this one? MPG info here. Size, description, and location are good according to Powel & Opler.

Looks good!
I think that is it. I was not saving specimens yet in April of last year. They should be appearing soon. Thanks
