Tisis helioclina

(Tisis helioclina)

Description

Tisis helioclina is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1894. It is found in Burma. The wingspan is 20–22 mm. The forewings are bright orange with a dark leaden-metallic streak along the inner margin from one-fourth to the base, then along the costa to one-third, where it crosses the wing in a rather strong curve to the middle of the inner margin. There is a large bronzy-purplish-fuscous patch occupying the apical area, its anterior edge forming a very strong rounded angulation which reaches to the middle of the wing. The hindwings are rather dark purplish-fuscous.
