A very close fit with photos on MPG; it's going down in my records as
probable P. maracana.  According to *Miller, W. E. 1986. The species of
Pseudexentera (Tortricidae). Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society. 40.
218-237*, the foodplant is Crataegus (hawthorn) which is abundant at my
location.  Opinions welcome.
