| Tinea dicharacta Meyrick, 1893 | |
Tinea dicharacta is a species of moth in the family Tineidae. This species was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1893 and can be found in Australia. [1] However, in 1911 Meyrick discussed specimens of an endemic-to-New-Zealand moth, but placed it within this species. The taxonomy of this latter moth, although currently falling within this species, is regarded as being in need of revision. [2] [1] As such the moth discussed by Edward Meyrick in 1911 is also known as Tinea dicharacta sensu Meyrick, 1911 or Tinea (s.l.) dicharacta. [3] [2]
