Agriophara tephroptera

Agriophara tephroptera is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Lower in 1903. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales.^[1]

The wingspan is about 28 mm. The forewings are cinereous-grey with the extreme costal edge white from one-third to the apex, more pronounced beneath. There are four rather oblique outwards curved series of transverse fuscous marks, the first from one-fourth of the costa to one-fourth of the dorsum, the second from the costa at about one-third to about the middle of the dorsum, the third from the costa at three-fifths to the anal angle and the fourth more strongly curved and better developed, from the costa at three-fourths to the anal angle and there meeting the third. There is an interrupted blackish line along the termen. The hindwings are pale ochreous-whitish, somewhat fuscous tinged.^[2]
