Scoparia fumata is a species of moth in the family Crambidae.[1] It is endemic in New Zealand.[2]
Taxonomy
It was described by Alfred Philpott in 1915.[3][4] However the placement of this species within the genus Scoparia is in doubt.[2] As a result, this species has also been referred to as Scoparia (s.l.) fumata.[1]
Description
The wingspan is 20–23 mm. The forewings are pale fuscous-brown with dark fuscous markings. The hindwings are grey, tinged with ochreous and with a darker subterminal line. Adults have been recorded on wing in December.[3]
