Description

Dicranucha albicincta is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1921. It is found in South Africa. The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are greyish-ochreous sprinkled with dark grey, especially on the veins. The stigmata are dark fuscous, edged with some whitish scales, the plical less distinct, hardly beyond the first discal. There is a suffused rather dark fuscous streak from the second discal to the apex, strongest at the apex, and a slight indistinct streak beneath it. There is also a marginal series of dark fuscous dots around the apical portion of the costa and termen. The hindwings are light grey, towards the base whitish.
