Glycynympha roseocostella

Glycynympha roseocostella is a moth in the Xyloryctidae family, and the only species in the genus Glycynympha. It was described by Walsingham in 1881 and is found in South Africa.^[1][2]

The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are white, the costa narrowly bright rose-colour, having, slightly beyond its middle, a triangular pale brown patch, of which the apex is produced in an attenuated and angulated streak to the end of the cell, reaching about half-way across the wing. The apical margin is also pale brown, the space occupied by this colour clearly defined and attenuated towards the anal angle. A pale brown shade lies along the base of the dorsal margin. The hindwings are white.^[3]
