This moth has reviously been identified as Phycitinae sp. (subfamily) so I did the same in a couple of places. See sightings 4257048, 4426281 and 4428253. I don't believe this ID is correct but I have nothing else to offer. I think this is a gelechioid of some sort.

I think the palps too large for Phycitinae, and the narrow wings and size suggest a Gelechiidae species.

Yes, all the records Katarina mentions above are gelechioids and they would best be gathered together as a Gelechioidea indeterminate species. (I made the original wrong suggestion about Phycitinae on one of the records.)
