Draudt, 1929 [1]

Thelosia resputa is a moth species in the family Apatelodidae. [2] It was first described by Max Wilhelm Karl Draudt in 1929 based on a female specimen from the collection of Otto Staudinger held by the Natural History Museum, Berlin. [3] The location where the type specimen was collected is unknown, [3] and the species therefore has no type locality.

Appearance

The moth's appearance is pale yellow-grey forewings with a dense, brown dusting and two faint transverse lines, with a white discal spot between them. The hindwings are a pale ochreous yellow with a weak central spot. [3]
