Drats , i didn't get to get an open wing , and see if the underwings where all white ...and the edge fringing on all wings ..not sure mine had that either.

The one I have suggested is supposedly mainland so a very nice find for Tas.

I can't match that name Charlie... can you provide a reference link to confirm it looks right ?
( I think yours is much nicer looking than Endrosis sarcitrella )
