Prismosticta fenestrata is a moth in the family Endromidae first described by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1880. It is found in China (Zhejiang, Xizang), Taiwan, India and Nepal.[1]
Mature larvae vary in colour from greenish yellow to darkish brown marked with darker lines and paler stripes. Pupation takes place in a small cocoon of brown silk, spun on a twig or in a clump of leaves.[2]
