Scolizona palinoides is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It is found in Papua New Guinea.[1]
The wingspan is 18–20 mm (0.71–0.79 in). The forewings are irregularly scattered with dark-brown scales, especially dense in the basal area and below the discal spots, which consist of a pair of large blackish spots before the middle and near the end of the cell. The hindwings are pale grey, with dark-brown scales sparsely scattered in the lower part of the discal cell.[1]
Etymology[]
The species name is derived from Greek palin (meaning backward) with the suffix -oides.[1]
