Boeotarcha divisa is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Thomas Pennington Lucas in 1894. It is found in Australia , where it has been recorded from Western Australia.[1]
The wingspan is 19–25 mm. The forewings are purple fuscous, tinted with drab scales towards the hindmargin. There is a triangle of orange ochreous dividing the wing almost equally. This triangle is bordered by a black line. There is also a yellow-ochreous spot at the costa and a submarginal purple-black line sharply turning to the hindmargin just before the anal angle. The hindmarginal band is diffused with creamy drab between the veins and there is a fine light hindmarginal line with a row of black dots. The hindwings are fuscous grey with darker veins and lighter ochreous-grey suffusion towards the base.[2]
