Tineovertex melliflua is a moth of the family Tineidae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1911.[1] It is found in Sri Lanka.[2]
It can be discriminated from other members of the genus by the shape of its saccus, which is like an elongated triangle, its elongate-spatulate valva and its wedge-shaped uncus. Adult wingspan is 6.5–7.0 mm. In the male, the head is whitish. Termen yellowish white. Costa with a broad irregular black streak runs from base to near apex. There is a narrow and nearly straight black streak runs from dorsum base to apex. This streak separates creamy-white and yellowish-white areas. Hindwings yellowish brown. Female is not observed. They are normally found during September.[3]
