Shows the same prominent white second leg as does the moth identified as Tritymba sp in sighting no. 4372857.

I have a question about this moth, regarding size. The other Lecithocera terrigena records are 5-12mm whereas this is more like 20mm. That was striking when I saw it. It appears in most other aspects to be the same, although the antennae were not qite as long as the wings, shown in picture two. Interesting - perhaps gender or a different species?
