This is such a distinctive moth and yet I can't find a match.

Yes, Iknow the feeling! Disctinctiveness doesn't help it seems, at times.

This species is wrongly located in Oecophoridae. (I'm not game to try and move it.)

Tried to add it to 'Curved horn moths etc', and got
"An error has occurred

Changed name of entry in 'Concealer moth' to 'Cosmet moth undescribed', then was able to make new entry in 'Curved Horn Moths', and suggested this one there. Tried to delete old entry in 'Concealer Moths' but failed.
