The TL of the moth in pic 4658 was only 6 mm so it's too small for 5995 
Euzophera semifuneralis but it is the right size for Ephestiodes.
There are records for Ephestiodes gilvescentella in Maryland, Florida and 
Oklahoma which is why I'm considering it.

Ken,  pic 4658 looks like 5995 Euzophera semifuneralis to me.  Not
familiar with the other micro--could be Ephestiodes but gilvescentella
according to MPG is a more western species.
