Phylomictis maligna Meyrick, 1890
|
Phylomictis maligna is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1890. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Victoria.[1]
The wingspan is about 23 mm. The forewings are white, slightly ochreous tinged, with a thick irregular dark grey streak along the inner margin from the base to the anal angle and an irregular much interrupted dark fuscous transverse line from one-third of the costa to the dorsal streak beyond the middle. There is a dark fuscous dot in the disc at two-thirds and the apical two-fifths of the wing are wholly fuscous, sprinkled with darker fuscous, and with a curved subterminal and hindmarginal series of obscure whitish marks. The hindwings are fuscous, darker towards the hindmargin.[2]
