I was using the size range for Euzophera semifuneralis on BG which is listed as
"wingspan 20-25 mm". If that's wrong, you should notify one of the BG guys in
the FB mothing group to change the info. Even then, the FW length on this moth
is less than 5mm.
I'm going by the MPG range map for Ephestiodes gilvescentella. If any of those
east of the Rockies records are accurate then I think it's a definite
possibility.

Euzophera semifuneralis is a small moth--it can be as small as 7mm FW length.
According to MPG range maps and the MONA Pyraloidea fascicle, Ephestiodes
gilvescentella is a western moth--what is the source for the records from the
east you cite?
