Thanks again for your help, Bayucca. I looked around in the Olethreutes genus, and I think O. arcuella comes close but is not the same. In fact, I did not find any real match, so I keep searching....

I didn't find an exact match, but it should one of the Olethreutinae, maybe Olethreutes sp., with the most common one Olethreutes arcella. You hve to verify this one!! I am not sure:
