Seticosta phrixotricha is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in Peru, Brazil (Paraná),[2] Ecuador (Loja Province) and Bolivia.[3]
The wingspan is 23.5 mm. The forewings are greyish brown, spotted with blackish brown. There are some whitish spots, mainly along the costa. The hindwings are dirty whitish, mixed with greyish apicad and strigulaed (finely streaked) with grey.
Etymology
The species name refers to the arrangement of the setae of the valve and is said to be derived from Greek trichos (meaning seta, hair) and phrixos (meaning bristled).[4] The proper word for hair in ancient Greek is however thrix (θρίξ).[5]
