Oxybia is a monotypic snout moth genus described by Hans Rebel in 1901. Its only species, Oxybia transversella, was described by Philogène Auguste Joseph Duponchel in 1836.[1] It is found in southern Europe[2] and on the Canary Islands.
Adults have grey or brownish-grey forewings with a narrow vertical yellowish-brown line with a darker spot above the dorsum on the outside. The hindwings are greyish brown. Specimens from Fuerteventura are different. They have a uniform pale yellowish forewing almost without any markings, except for a dark spot which is sometimes present above the middle of the dorsum. The hindwings are purely white.[3]
The larvae feed on Psoralea bituminosa.
