Limnoecia sp? close to Limnoecia orbigera described as having white cilia on the apex but this species has more than just the cilia white at the apex.

This would seem to fit with what is all over the internet as scoliosema including the ACT Mapr. Inaturalist has a least two species that have reached research grade under this name. For mine there are several aspects of the original description that do not fit. 1: Antennae whitish, ringed with dark fuscous, towards apex with several broader dark fuscous rings. 2: Thorax blackish-fuscous, posterior extremity ochreous-whitish. 3: Forewings blackish-fuscous, purplish-tinged; two narrow ochreous-white fasciae. 4: first very oblique, curved inwards. 5: a semicircular ochreous-white costal spot at 4/5, and a small terminal ochreous-white mark opposite: Plus, there is no mention of a spot on the termen. There no images on iBOLD
