I don't know Don. I don't think it's the same as Lecithocera micromela. I have absolutely no idea what it is.

I think Tritymba unidentified species is right. I wish I had a better memory for things I had seen before but the last one was 2 years ago so maybe that's OK ;-)

Might be better to call it 'Tritymba (genus)" I wouldn't call this one''fully black' (one of Katarina's other sightings (see 'Tritymba unidentified species') is darker overall. On BOLD I can't distingush between two named (brownish overall) Tritymba spp., T, dasybathra and T. xanthocoma.
