Recurvaria vestigata Meyrick, 1929
|
Recurvaria vestigata is a moth of the family Gelechiidae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1929. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Ontario.[1][2]
The wingspan is about 13 mm. The forewings are white sprinkled with fuscous and with an oblique sometimes interrupted dark fuscous streak from the dorsum at one-fourth reaching halfway across the wing, a small spot on the costa beyond one-third, and a dot between these, forming a straight series. The stigmata are linear, black, the plical nearly beneath the first discal, a blackish dash reaching nearly from the first to the second discal but rather beneath them. There is a faint acutely angulated transverse whitish line at about three-fourths, preceded on the costa and dorsum by small spots of blackish suffusion, a short black dash within the angle of this. There is also a mark of blackish suffusion before the apex and a marginal series of small blackish marks around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are pale grey, subhyaline (almost glass like) anteriorly.[3] Adults are on wing from April to June.
