Several of these Scieropepla (genus) photographed by Con Boekel (including this one) seem to me to have a darker lower section to thr labial palps (these have dentified as S. reversella previously). However when I look for that feature for S. typhicola elsewhere (for example the third sample image for S. typhicola here on NatureMapr) that lower section of the labial palps is not dark but whitish like the rest of the labial palps.
