Scythris aquaria Meyrick, 1913
|
Scythris aquaria is a moth of the family Scythrididae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1913. It is found in South Africa (Gauteng, Mpumalanga), Namibia and Mozambique.[1]
The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are fuscous with a suffused white streak along the costa from one-fourth to the apex, with short suffused lines on the veins running into it. There is a strong white median streak from the base to beyond the middle, where it divides into several branches along the veins, and very faintly split along the fold. Suffused white sub-dorsal and dorsal lines run from the base to the tornus. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
