Catharylla bijuga is a moth of the family Crambidae described by Théo Léger and Bernard Landry in 2014. It occurs in lowlands of the Guianas (Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana) and Brazil .[1]
The length of the forewings is 9–10.5 mm for males and 11–15 mm for females. The forewings are snow white, with a yellow-ochreous to brown costal margin, partially disrupted when meeting the transverse lines. The hindwings are snow white, the veins slightly ochreous.[1]
Etymology
The species name refers to the bifid costal arm of the male genitalia and is derived from Latin bijugus (meaning yoked together, double).[1]
