It's shape is consistent with Philobota genus, and some of the records we have allocated to Philobota genus don't have a much stronger basis. I'm wondering if it is Telocharacta metachroa (also Philobta group)- the grey terminal cilia are consistent with that, but it's hardly a certain identification.
