Antaeotricha isotona Meyrick, 1932 | |
Antaeotricha isotona is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1932. It is found in Panama.[1]
The wingspan is 12-13 mm. The forewings are white, the dorsal two-fifths suffusedly mixed grey, in males a small scaletuft on the extreme base of the costa, beneath this is a suffused grey dot and a suffused dark grey elongate blotch along the basal third of the dorsum, as well as a very oblique dark fuscous line formed by small spots representing the first discal and plical stigmata, a short streak from the costa at% in one-fifth in females, in males not quite reaching the costa, and a subquadrate blotch on the middle of the dorsum. There is a second oblique dark fuscous line formed by a streak from the middle of the costa, less developed in males, an elongate spot representing the second discal stigma, and the anterior end of an oblong pre-tornal blotch. A third oblique dark fuscous line is found from the costa at three-fourths, running to the posterior end of this blotch. Four or five dark fuscous marginal dots are found around the apical part of the costa and termen. The hindwings whitish-grey in males and light grey in females, in males with an ochreous-whitish hairpencil from the base beneath the costa reaching to beyond the middle.[2]
