Good match
Thanks to Ann who led me to the
Phycitinae
and
Arcola malloi
. Based on the very good match with the image of the moth posted by Gary Goss that he confirmed, I am now confident to assign this ID.

Peter,

that I decided to look in that area.
Did you consider Hodges #5993? It doesn't look right to me, but it is from Florida. Just a thought.
