The three records under Olbonoma leptospila are unlikly to be that species. None of them shows the variable dark mark on the outer area of the forewing that is correctly mentioned in the CNM species description, nor the dark collar across the thorax. See Olbonoma leptospila records on ALA. Moreover, O. leptospila is a more northern and coastal species.

I think this species should be renamed "Oecophoridae provisional species 11".
