I think it could also be Olethreutinae, so tried to add 'Tortricidae (family)' but I could not do so. How does one add a new species these days? It was quite easy previously. Unimpressed.

'Olethreutinae sp. (subfamily' is already a category in the existing family Tortricidae (Tortricid moths) in the Moths (Lepidoptera) taxonomy. So you can find 'Olethreutinae sp. (subfamily' within the alphabetic listing of species by genera within the Tortricidae (family). Is that the category you wanted to identify the sighting as?

I am unclear how to distinguish between Olethreutinae and Tortricinae, so I have now suggested both, but I would rather suggest Tortricidae.

I cannot help on distinguishing beween those two subfamilies just on visible cues either. I haven't found anything yet in Tortricinae or Olethreutinae on LBH which would match to my satisafaction.
