Oenobotys vinotinctalis, the wine-tinted oenobotys moth, is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Hampson in 1895.[1] It is found in the United States, where it has been recorded from North Carolina to Florida, west to Texas.[2] It is also found in the West Indies and from Mexico[3] to Central America.
The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewing colour varies from brownish-red to yellowish-red or pinkish-red with black antemedial and postmedial lines and two black discal spots. The hindwings are brownish-grey.
Etymology
The species name refers to the colour of the forewings and is derived from Latin vinum (meaning wine) and tinctus (meaning a dye).[4]
