  Thanks! That is a really interesting genus with near-identical patterns. I do have some doubt regarding the wing position, had a look at many photos and for this genus they're always opened like a triangle. It doesn't help that my moth looks pretty damaged. Posted 2 years ago

    I was thinking the same. The shape of yours is very Tortricidae-esque. Posted 2 years ago

      This might be why it looks like a Tortricid, lol:

        Wow! That's one obscure genus, how on earth did you find it? Posted 2 years ago

        I scrolled through a list of all the species of Tortricidae until I came upon this one. Posted 2 years ago

        It sounds more hardcore than it was...It only took me about 5 min. But, I'm happy to help. :) Posted 2 years ago
