If we go beyond Oecophoridae (family), I would go for Oxythecta genus

Hmm: I thought both Eusemocosma and Oxythecta were in Oecophorinae? O. acceptella has a similar pattern, but none of the BOLD specimens have the speckled background like E. pruinosa has.

Sorry, my comment was obscure. I meant "If we identify to any more detail than Oecophoidae family, then I would go for Oxythecta genus
