Nematochares

Nematochares is a monotypic moth genus in the family Depressariidae. Its only species, Nematochares citraulax, is found in Brazil. Both the genus and species were first described by Edward Meyrick in 1931.^[1]

The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are dark purplish with a rounded orange basal spot, and beyond this on the costa is a narrow attenuated pale yellow streak to three-fourths, terminated basally by a small dark purple spot and out near the base by another. There are some pale greenish-yellow longitudinal streaks, one above the middle from one-fifth of the wing to the end of the cell, two from just beyond the end of the cell to the costa before the apex and the middle of the termen respectively, one from the basal spot below the middle is curved to the termen above the tornus. The hindwings are dark fuscous.^[2]
