Polyhymno leucocras

Polyhymno leucocras is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Thomas de Grey, 6th Baron Walsingham, in 1911. It is found in Mexico (Sonora). [1]

The wingspan is 9–10 mm. The forewings are snow-white, with a rather broad brown costal band, the dorsal space beneath the fold being also completely filled with brown, from which a brown streak is ejected outward in the direction of the apex. The white costal streaks are in the same positions as in Polyhymno colleta , consisting of one long slender very oblique line commencing before the middle, followed by a shorter, less oblique line nearly meeting its apex, and two pairs of geminated white streaks in the costal and apical cilia. There is also a similar white patch in the terminal cilia, but instead of two black spots this contains a black streak with two black dots below it. A reduplicated brown line runs along the termen at the base of the cilia. The hindwings are a very pale grey. [2]
