Exaeretia fulvus is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Walsingham in 1882.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from New Brunswick and Maine to British Columbia, south to Arizona and New Mexico.[2][3]
The wingspan is 16–20 mm. The forewings are tawny-red, irrorated with fuscous and with a large fuscous shade at the end of the cell. In the center of this shade is a white discal spot. There is also a small transverse whitish patch at the extreme base of the wing on the inner angle. The veins beyond the cell are marked with fuscous scales. Hindwings are greyish fuscous.[4]
