To my eye this moth seems much longer and elongate compared with the stockier, shorter T. clandestina examples I see on CNM. This moth looks darker with a distinct white band across the forewing which seems to me to be lacking in T. clandestina. Not a Lepidoscia (genus) species?

While there are distinct similarities to L. annoella I'm not convinced its that species which to me seems to have consistent shape and proportions when looked at online. Several Lepidocia species seem to have similar markings, but this moth is elongate and is narrower and doesn't widen in shape towards its firewing hindmargins. I also think we have also other similar moths locally before. For example, see Sightings 4383441, 3394963 and 4263253. That is not to say, there are not also strong candiates for L. annosella on CNM too!
