Thudaca haplonota

Thudaca haplonota is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1893. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Western Australia.^[1]

The wingspan is 19-20 mm. The forewings are silvery-white with bright orange markings. The costal edge is blackish near the base and there is a moderate streak immediately beneath the costa from the base to the costa before the apex and a rather broad dorsal streak, partly black-edged above, from the base to the anal angle, attenuated posteriorly, leaving the inner margin slenderly white near the base only. There are two straight partially black-edged transverse streaks, the first from the subcostal streak at three-fifths to above the middle of the subdorsal but not nearly reaching it, suffusedly barred with blackish-grey above the middle, the second from the extremity of the subcostal to the subdorsal before the extremity, suffused with blackish-grey towards the costa and on a bar above the lower end. There are also a few blackish scales on the hindmargin. The hindwings are light grey, faintly yellowish-tinged.^[2]
