There seem to be two moths that look very similar but one is much larger than the other one. They are possibly mixed up under the Phylomictis maligna name or they could be male and female. This is the small one and so is sighting 4369642. Sighting 4361619 is the larger one. They are on the same white sheet so you can compare the size by the thread count. The white pattern is also slightly different but it seems to be variable in this species. The antennae and the legs look identical. Hmmm...
