Copidoris dimorpha Meyrick, 1907
|
Copidoris dimorpha is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae, and the only species in the genus Copidoris. The genus and species were both described by Edward Meyrick in 1907 and are found in Australia,[1] where it has been recorded from New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia.
The wingspan is 17–20 mm. The forewings are yellow-ochreous, along the costa, dorsum and termen, or sometimes wholly suffused with rather dark fuscous irrorated with white and usually with a clear white median longitudinal streak from the base to the apex, but sometimes this is suffusedly mixed with fuscous. The hindwings are grey-whitish, becoming light grey posteriorly.[2]
