A worn Hellula hydralis? On another look, I don't think so.

See similar Sighting No. 4233147. This moth does not show black tips on its palps so may not be Carposina latebrosa.

I think you may mean Carposina, as in Carposinidae ?

Many BOLD specimens show no black palp tips. I wish BOLD published the sex of their specimens.

4233147 and 3769057 aren't Carposina latebrosa. Although the seem to match one of the Inat records under that species, they do not match the type photo or ANIC set specimens (see on BOLD). I've looked across Carposinidae, Nolidae and Hypenodinae and believe they are Carposinidae but cannot match them to a species.
