Ethmia elutella Busck, 1914 | |
Ethmia elutella is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It is found from Panama to Venezuela and Trinidad. [1] There is also a record from Chile.
The length of the forewings is 6.3–8.3 mm (0.25–0.33 in). The ground color of the forewings is white, mostly obscured by grayish clouding or ill-defined blotches basally and through the costal half except along the costa on the distal one-third. The ground color of the hindwings is pale gray except under the costal hair pencil, where it is pale ocherous. Adults are on wing in February, March and May. [2]
