Hi Mal,

There are a few similar Pammene. The NMRS guidelines suggest that this species can be determined without dissection by examination of the hindwings, which in the male are whitish or pale greyish brown, in a broad wedge-shape from the base.

Another species to consider is Epinotia immundana.

Regards,
Steve
