Apomyelois cognata is a species of snout moth in the genus Apomyelois. It was described by Staudinger in 1871, originally in genus Myelois. [1]
The species is known to occur in Russia. [2] An old and unconfirmed record exists for Cyprus. [2] Apomyelois schaeuffelella, described in 1959 by Hans Georg Amsel and considered a junior synonym of Apomyelois cognata, was described from Iran. [2]
Adults of the species resemble those of Apomyelois bistriatella, [a] but are larger, have broader forewings of which the markings are more contrasting than in A. bistriatella, and show some genital differences. [2] The wing pattern and colouring is slightly variable. [2] The wingspan is 20–23 mm. [3]
