Hileithia obliqualis is a species of moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Schaus in 1912. It is found in Costa Rica. [1] Schaus describes Hileithia obliqualis as having a wingspan of about 35mm, with a grayish-brown forewing and a white hindwing. The forewing is crossed by two oblique brown bands, which give the species its name. [2] The species has been further studied by other researchers, including Terhune Dickel and Michael Matthews, who conducted a survey of the moths of Costa Rica in the 1990s. [3] In their study, they collected specimens of Hileithia obliqualis and documented its distribution and abundance (Dickel & Matthews, 1993).
