Ceutholopha isidis is a species of snout moth in the genus Ceutholopha. It was described by Zeller in 1867, and is known from Egypt,[1] India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Iran, Namibia, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates. One specimen was caught on 18 August 2012, at Dymchurch, England by J E Owen. The moth is either an adventive, or a possible immigrant because it arrived during a period of immigration.[2]
The larvae feed on Acacia farnesiana, Acacia tortilis, Rhus oxyacantha and Acacia nilotica.[3]
