I think the palps, markings, shape and antennae differ from A. loxodesma.

This was a much smaller moth than any Ardozyga that I'm familiar with.

I think it was too small for a Macrobathra as well. If I recall correctly, it was about 5-6 mm long.

As suggested for 4429518, I'm placing all these records under Gelechioidea indeterminate species 1.
