Pectinivalva commoni group undescribed species


This represents a complex of many species within the tiny Nepticulidae. Moths of this family typically have a dense "eyecap" of scales on the base of the antennae that cover over the eyes when they are held that way.  The protrusions at the front of the head in the photos here (at March 2021) are these eyecaps, but held upwards away from the eyes.
