2072 -- Eyeringed Chionodes Moth -- Chionodes discoocellella

I do not know if these are light and dark forms of the same species or different species. Larry Line shows a specimen intermediate between these taken by John Glaser in Maryland and identified by Ron Hodges. The common name used here is of my invention.
