Deltoplastis ovatella is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It is endemic to Taiwan.[2][3] The type series was collected from Kuangwu Forest Station (Hsinchu County) at 2,000 m (6,600 ft) above sea level.[1]
Description[edit]
The wingspan is 15–17 mm. The forewings are relatively narrow with a small, elongated costal patch before the middle. The hindwings are pale grey and broader than the forewings.[1]
Etymology[edit]
The name is derived from the oval-shaped median fascia on the forewings.[1]
