Thiotricha thorybodes is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1885.[1] It is endemic to New Zealand.[1][2]
Taxonomy
[edit]This species was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1885 and named Thistricha tyorybodes.[3] in 1886 Meyrick gave a fuller description of this species under the name Thiotricha thorybodes.[4]
Description
[edit]The wingspan is 11–13 mm. The forewings are rather dark fuscous, irregularly irrorated with ochreous-whitish, more strongly in the disc. The costa is suffusedly darker, with a darker triangular patch before the middle, its apex reaching to the fold. There is an obscure dark fuscous dot in the disc slightly beyond the middle and a small whitish-ochreous spot, sometimes nearly obsolete, in the disc at three-fourths. The hindwings are grey-whitish or whitish-grey.[4]
