Agonopterix hoenei is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Lvovsky and Wang in 2011.[1] It is found in China (Yunnan).
The wingspan is about 25 mm. The forewings are white, tinged with yellowish brown and with brown specks. The terminal fourth is paler than the rest of the wing. There is a large black discal spot and a black point in the middle of the cell. Between this and discal spot are two to three black points. A triangular black spot is found at base of the wing and several fuscous points are found along the costal margin and termen. The hindwings are whitish with a yellow tinge.
Etymology
