St. Louis MO 10/7/15 Quote from Terry Harrison regarding this moth, "Well, I consider any sight ID in this group to be equivocal compared to a dissection-based ID, because there are so many look-alike spp., so it certainly wouldn't be incorrect to add a "probable" denotation to the ID, as we'll never really know for sure. In this case, however, it would be OK to be assertive and say that your moth is E. illectella, because it does appear to be in the "Cosmiotes" group (all of the spp. of which look alike), and because, from what I have seen, illectella is overwhelmingly the odds-on favorite "Cosmiotes" species to be found in this part of the country."
