Carpatolechia query


Is this Carpatolechia proximella? It doesn't quite seem to match the description in the Field Guide, but proximella does seem the best fit.
Thanks

  1. Hello Phil,
    Probably way off the mark, but a very worn Blastobasis adustella was what crossed my mind when I saw your image. I can't make it fit any of the Carpatolechia species.

  2. Ah yes, that could be it!
    Thanks, Phil

  3. I have had similar, which amongst the more common and very dark adustella look very different. I keep one occasionally for dissection!
