I thought I had posted a long comment a day or so ago. I must have stuffed up somehow. What I thought I said was - this moth is very similar to the moth described as Palaeosia sp (1) in MoVic Pt2. Many of the moths described as Palaeosia undescribed species on NMapr appear to be the same species - long moth with square end of wings etc. Sighting 4473151
certainly does not fit however, I doubt it is a Palaeosia sp, more likely Scoliacma nana. One, if not both the moths pictured in Sighting 4560233 are probably Palaeosia bicosta also Sighting 4559011.

I think the yellow head is inconsistent with S. nana.

Sighting 4473151 , which I was suggesting may be Scoliacma nana, does not have a yellow head. The yellow face can just be seen on some Bold specimens
