Yes Don, I can no longer find it on bold. They have done updates and a lot of my old references no longer work

I do not see any obvious upturned labial palps,
maybe a scaly porrect scape with a thin invisible flagellum (like Thema),
maybe a pair of porrect very scaly palps (like Arcola),
or maybe a scaly head if the 'face' is tucked under (like Edosa).

Don, I have enhanced the head in which you can see the yellow palps through the white fluffy hairs of the head. It also appears on Cosmopterigidae (family) undescribed species as Cosmopterigidae.
