Scythris zeugmatica

Description

Scythris zeugmatica is a moth of the Scythrididae family. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1931. It is found in Brazil (Santarem). The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are rather dark purple-grey with a rather broad suffused yellow-whitish streak along the fold throughout, crossed at its middle by a fasciate bar reaching the dorsum but not reaching the costa, beyond this attenuated and indistinct, but expanded into an oval spot on the tornus, a somewhat inwards-oblique spot on the costa, towards the apex rather beyond this. The hindwings are grey.
