Retinia
Moved from Retinia gemistrigulana.

Accidental move :-)

Definitely Retinia, seems to be either houseri or gemistrigulana.

No need for frass!

Thank you, Fyn.
Retinia - that's where I wanted to put it but the pattern was not what I thought it should be for gemistrigulana (I posted one recently, a second one was wrong, I think). Choosing houseri would have meant picking a seemingly rare moth. Perhaps Ken Childs will weigh in, having posted BG's only image. Anyway, sending something to Frass may be better than sending to the crowded Family or Genus page :).

It may very well be identifiable,
but you may need to wait months, if not longer, for that to happen.
