Lethata anophthalma

Description

Lethata anophthalma is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in Brazil (Paraná, Amazonas), Venezuela, Bolivia, Paraguay, northern Argentina, French Guiana and Guyana. The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are light ochreous brown, the costal edge from the base to two-thirds, brown edged rather dark grey beneath. There is an indistinct fuscous oblique slightly excurved streak from the dorsum at one-fourth to the first discal stigma, an indistinct small fuscous spot beneath the costal edging beyond this. The second discal stigma is small, obscure and fuscous and there is a faint hardly infuscated slender line from two-thirds of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, slightly excurved, indented above the middle. There are a few dark fuscous specks scattered near these markings and the apical edge is tinged yellowish. The hindwings are pale oohreous yellowish. The larvae feed on Psidium guajava.
