Eutorna symmorpha Meyrick, 1889 | |
Eutorna symmorpha is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1889. It is found in New Zealand.[1]
The wingspan is 12–14 mm. The forewings are yellow-ochreous, sometimes obscurely streaked with whitish-ochreous between the veins, the veins more reddish-ochreous or brownish-ochreous. There is a straight, slender, reddish-brown streak from the middle of the base to the disc at two-fifths, terminating in a small blackish spot, cloudy beneath, above sharply-defined and sometimes margined with an ochreous-whitish streak. There is a more or less distinct reddish-brown streak from the disc before the middle to the costa before the apex, terminating in some black scales and there are two black dots transversely placed in the disc at two-thirds, as well as some black scales on the hindmargin. The hindwings are light grey.[2]
