Do you know this site http://www.leps.it/ ? I find it quite usefull, but it takes a lot of screening of the gallery and some of them are very similar. Posted 12 years ago

  In the future, I'd like to have a page that collects all useful identification sites, sorted by category. Posted 12 years ago

It could be tribe Cochylini. Cochylimorpha straminea, Cochylimorpha alternana, and Phalonidia contractana all look close. I think it's Cochylimorpha sp.
