Boeotarcha divisa is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by T. P. Lucas in 1894. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Western Australia.[1]
The wingspan is 19–25 mm. The forewings are purple-fuscous, tinted with drab scales towards the hindmargin. There is a triangle of orange-ochreous dividing the wing almost equally. This triangle is bordered by a black line. There is also a yellow-ochreous spot at the costa and a submarginal purple-black line sharply turning to the hindmargin just before the anal angle. The hindmarginal band is diffused with creamy-drab between the veins and there is a fine light hindmarginal line with a row of black dots. The hindwings are fuscous-grey with darker veins and lighter ochreous-grey suffusion towards the base.[2]
