Is it possible to get a species name for this (female?) Ptychoptera?
It has 15 antenna segments.
Found in in my garden, Koudekerke, Netherlands, 9Sept08. There are 7 possible species in the Netherlands. Contaminata is often mentioned, but I don't know the differences between the other 6.

I think this is a female of Ptychoptera contaminata.
