Epermeniidae
This is an epermeniid, I don't know which one; it is very worn, and the color pattern is difficult to visualize. There are some Palearctic epermeniids that have this orange color on the forewing (e.g., this one, Ochromolopis ictella), so it might be that one of those spp. extends into Alaska; or it could be an undescribed North American species.

Wow, Terry, Thank you so much! I noticed some raised scales, but did not think they were enough to be this genus. Those Alaska moths have gone unattended and I think it is important to get some "on the books". In moving moths from the "end of the line" it has been my mistakes that have resulted in the most educational finds. Thank you for catching them.
