Scoparia fimbriata

Scoparia fimbriata is a species of moth in the family Crambidae.[2] This species is endemic to New Zealand.[1]

Taxonomy

It was described by Alfred Philpott in 1917.[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.) fimbriata.[2]

Description

The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous-brown, but darker basally. The first line is whitish, margined posteriorly with blackish-brown. The second line is pale, margined anteriorly with blackish-brown. The hindwings are ochreous-grey. The lunule and subterminal line are fuscous. Adults have been recorded on wing in December and January.[3]
