Orocrambus xanthogrammus is a moth in the family Crambidae. [1] It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1883. It is endemic to New Zealand, [2] where it has been recorded from the South Island and the eastern part of the North Island. The habitat of this species consists of shingle river beds. [3]
O. xanthogrammus was first described by Edward Meyrick in June 1882 and named Crambus xanthogrammus. [4] Meyrick gave a fuller description of this species in May of 1883. [5] The male lectotype specimen, collected at Lake Coleridge by R. E. Fereday, is held at the Natural History Museum, London. [6]
The wingspan is 20–30 mm. Adults have been recorded on wing from December to March. [3]
The larvae probably feed on Raoulia species. [3]
