Scoparia claranota is a species of moth in the family Crambidae.[2] It is endemic to New Zealand.[1]
Taxonomy
It was described by W. George Howes in 1946.[3][4] However the placement of this species within the genus Scoparia is in doubt.[1] As a result, this species has also been referred to as Scoparia (s.l.) claranota.[2]
Description
The wingspan is about 39 mm. The forewings are silvery-white with a streak of ochreous-brown along the costa and light ochreous-brown borders around the dark markings. There is a black line from the centre of the base to the centre of the wing, as well as a black line from the centre of the wing to the termen slightly above the tornus. The hindwings are silvery-white. Adults have been recorded on wing in December.[3]
