Lacistodes tauropis

|
Lacistodes tauropis is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1921. It is found in Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe. [1] [2]
The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are whitish ochreous, suffusedly striated transversely with dark fuscous and a suffused dark fuscous spot on the base of the costa. The plical and first discal stigmata are represented by a transverse dark fuscous blotch, the lower half enlarged and projecting anteriorly, the second discal by a dark fuscous transverse mark. The confluence of dark striation tends to form an undefined transverse fascia just beyond the second discal stigma and a streak along the termen, widest at the apex. The hindwings are dark grey. [3]
