|
Depressaria orthobathra is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1918. It is found in South Africa.[1][2]
The wingspan is 15-18 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous or light greyish-ochreous, with some small scattered dark fuscous strigulae and with the base narrowly dark ashy-grey mixed with black and the edge direct. The first discal stigma is small and blackish, with a similar dot obliquely before and above it, the second formed by a whitish dot ringed with fuscous. There is a marginal series of small black dots around the posterior half of the costa and termen. The hindwings of the males are pale grey, and grey in females.[3]
