I have a series collected in several forests from Trap Malaise. Perhaps in the Ethillini.

I see your point, but I am not totally convinced.
If you are right, it can only be Prosethilla kramerella, which is an extremely rare species (but it does hit Malaise traps) and the palpus should be dark with yellow apex, which fits.
So maybe you are right.
Check if the barrette is hairy (like in Winthemiini)

Precisely, there are 1-2 long hairs on the front of the barrette, not more. This is the point that makes me doubt. But I looked for other solutions without result. The Malaise traps were placed at the level of the canopy.

I had a very quick look in my collection and I'd say it is a good match for Prosethilla

Nice work !
