Salbia tytiusalis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1859. It is found in Florida, the West Indies and Central America,[1] including Honduras.[2]
Adults are pale cinereous (ash gray), with iridescent, semihyaline (almost glass-like) wings. They are somewhat darker along the costa and beyond the exterior line. There is a lunulate reniform mark on the forewings, as well as a slightly curved, dentate exterior line and marginal black points.[3] Adults have been recorded on wing from March to December.[4]
