Tricentrogyna sp.
This is the smallest Moth I have taken pictures of, not much more than 2mm. When you look at it it looked like a piece of gold leaf, but as I looked at the pictures, the camera sees a pattern and it is yellow and rust color.
Thanks, Philip and good job! Would you now suggest that we take this one as Eois sp. (which I would definitely agree with) or keep my former compromise of the subfamily?
We have had some trouble with the Lophosis vs Eois vs Tricentrogyna (and I'm sure some more. There are many on BOLD that seem to be placed across a couple of genera...making our ID's that much more difficult. I recently found this particular moth in Eois.

I suggest that you take Geometrid Moth as common name and Sterrhinae as scientific name. The rest need a re-check anyway...
It was so tiny I had a hard time with the pictures, I will add 2 more but I do not know if that will help....
I can not seem to find this Moth anywhere but it should be listed as a "Miniature Moth".... : )
Geometridae, Sterrhinae, looks like being a Tricentrogyna sp.. Do you have any other picture of this one?
