Mustilia fusca is a moth in the family Endromidae first described by Yasunori Kishida in 1993. It is found in Taiwan.[1][2]
The larvae feed on the leaves of Trochodendron aralioides. They have a greenish-brown body and head. They reach a length of 45 mm when full grown.[3][4] Pupation takes place in a black, rough and rugose (wrinkled) pupa, enclosed in a thin cocoon of brown silk spun among the leaves of the host plant.
