1014 -- Pale Gray Birddropping Moth -- Antaeotricha leucillana

According to Covell the wingspan of 1011 - A schlaegeri falls between 21-30mm, while that of 1014 - A. leucillana is between 15-23mm. My example here (9mm length = ~ 17-18mm wingspan) is well below the range of overlap between the two species.
