Comment: Collected in 15W UV bucket trap in backyard of urban residential neighborhood. On close examination, it seems to be a good match to Braun's description and Charley Eiseman's specimen photo. But there are known to be multiple undescribed Marmara species around the state, so this identification is tentative until we can confirm it by rearing an individual from a mine. Specimen is 3 mm in length.		Recorded by: David George on 2023-04-05
