Salebriaria sp.

The examples of Salebriaria ademptandella we see in central Texas typically have a very silvery cast to them, lacking the brown overtones shown in this moth. Neunzig's 2003 monograph (MONA 15.5) suggests that S. ademptandella is primarily a Texas Hill Country species and would be unexpected further afield. The brown tones here might suggest a related species like #5771 S. turpidella which is reportedly similar to ademptandella but browner (Neunzig, 2003, p. 59).

Not Likely

Consult the key to last instar larvae in said. This larva is 'predominately pale green to green, with little or no black or dark brown pigmentation'. S. turpidella larvae are described as 'darker with substantial amounts of black, dark brown, or gray pigmentation'.
