Endotricha dumalis is a species of snout moth in the genus Endotricha. It was described by Wang and Li in 2005, and is known from China (Guangxi).[2]

The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are dark-mauve, irrorated with black scales. The hindwings are the same color as the forewings, but the costal margin is greyish white suffused with fewer black scales.

Etymology[]

The specific name is from the Latin dumandalis and refers to the lateral lobes of the juxta with many spines in the male genitalia.
