Is this moth Garrha (genus), named or un-named? Banded antennae. There are apparently many similar looking examples of un-named Garrka species to be seen on Bold Systems. This has a shiny patina and apparently very fine pink highlights, See also CNM Sighting No. 4373761.

I think "Garrha (genus)" is when we cannot determine the species because of wear or ambiguity, and "Garrha (unnamed)" is for when we are sure it is not any named species.
