Scoparia pallidula | |
Scoparia pallidula is a moth in the family Crambidae. [2] It is endemic to New Zealand. [1]
This species was described by Alfred Philpott in 1928. [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.) pallidula. [2]
The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are white, irrorated with pale brownish. The veins are outlined with blackish and a terminal series of black spots. The hindwings are grey with a slight ochreous tinge. Adults have been recorded on wing in December and January. [3]
Scoparia is a grass moth genus of subfamily Scopariinae. Some authors have assigned the synonymous taxon Sineudonia to the snout moth family (Pyralidae), where all grass moths were once also included, but this seems to be in error.
