With antennae that short : is it a crazy Acridomorpha ?

Acridotarsa is a possibility, although the palpi are too damaged here to properly compare with the long (for a tineid) palpi of Acridotarsa and the wing shape may not be right. Acridotarsa has typical long tineid antennae, and photo 3 shows that this specimen has them broken off.
