Moca pelinactis

(Moca pelinactis)

Description

Moca pelinactis is a moth in the Immidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1925. It is found in Cameroon. The wingspan is about 21 mm. The forewings are rather light grey, from the base to the end of the cell almost wholly suffused light ochreous, except for a grey line beneath the pale ochreous costal edge, beyond the cell with suffused light ochreous streaks between the veins not quite reaching a curved light ochreous streak which runs from three-fourths of the costa near the margin to the tornus, and emits short lines anteriorly on the veins passing between the interneural streaks. The grey marginal streak beyond this is slightly bluish tinged. The hindwings are rather dark grey.
