1011 -- Schlaeger's Fruitworm Moth -- Antaeotricha schlaegeri

According to Covell the wingspan of A schlaegeri falls between 21-30mm, while that of 1014 - A. leucillana is between 15-23mm. My example here (15.5mm length = ~ 30mm wingspan) is well above the range of overlap between the two species.
