Biology:Tomotilus

From HandWiki

Tomotilus celebratus is a moth of the family Pterophoridae. It has been reported from Australia, India, Japan (including Honshu) and Indonesia (Java).[1] Until recently the species was known as Tomotilus saitoi, but the earlier name Oxyptilus celebratus has been recognised as an earlier reference to this same species.[2]

The length of the forewings is 6–8 mm.

The larvae feed on Dunbaria villosa.
