Don't know what the Olethreutes moth is, but have some news about a new
publication: The latest fascicle of the Moths of America North of Mexico is
out; Fascicle 8.1 it covers the Tortricidae tribes of Sparganothini and
Atteriini. It is the first publication on the family Tortricidae in the
moth book series. You can buy a copy from Bioquip or from the Wedge
Entomological Research Foundation. If I am able to attend the new moon
meeting at Larry McDaniels' place, I will bring my copy for attendees to
look through.

Merrill, that was a species on my short list and was my strongest contender.
The only reason I didn't go with it is that white patch on the outer margin
near the apex that's showing on all the moths of this species pictured on
MPG.. My moth doesn't look all that worn and it even appears to show some
banding in that spot which doesn't show up on the pinned moths on MPG.

I'd call it Olethreutes olivaeana 2778 based on the yellowish-brown general
color and the banding near the base of the FW. It is a strawberry feeder
and I bet you have those in your vicinity!

Do any of you recognize this probable Olethreutes sp? I haven't been able to
find a satisfactory match on MPG.
