Pseuderotis cannescens

Description

Pseuderotis cannescens is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Clarke in 1956. It is found in Argentina and Brazil (Santa Catarina). The wingspan is 16–21 mm. The forewings are sordid white, all suffused or marked with fuscous. The extreme base of the costa is fuscous. From the basal fourth a broken, oblique, fuscous band extends obliquely and outwardly to the fold. Inside the costa, slightly before the middle, is a fuscous spot and across the end of the cell is a transverse series of more or less well denned fuscous spots followed by subterminal and a terminal series of similar spots. The costal and dorsal areas are broadly suffused with greyish. The hindwings are yellowish fuscous. The larvae feed on Pologonum persicarioides and Platanus orientalis.
