Salbia thyrsonoma

Salbia thyrsonoma is a moth in the Crambidae family. It is found in Bolivia.^[1]

The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are fuscous, with darker fuscous lines. The first is sinuate and rather oblique and preceded by some faint whitish suffusion. The second runs from the costa, rather irregular, to vein 2, thence suddenly making a large rounded loop inwards to beneath the discal spot and thence to the dorsum about the middle. It is margined posteriorly throughout by a narrow waved yellow-whitish fascia, which in the middle of the disc also extends beyond it anteriorly. There is a suffused dark fuscous bar on the end of the cell, margined with yellow-whitish anteriorly. The costa is suffused with dark fuscous on the apical area and there is a grey subbasal shade. The hindwings are sub-hyaline whitish with a grey mark on the end of the cell and a second line which is irregular, widely broken inwards below the middle to beneath the discal mark. A terminal fascia is formed of waved grey submarginal and marginal lines.^[2]
