Comocritis nephelista

Comocritis nephelista is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Sri Lanka.[1]

The wingspan is 16–20 mm (0.63–0.79 in). The forewings are white brownish irrorated (sprinkled) with dark fuscous, more strongly posteriorly. There is a suffused white streak along the costa from about one-third to near the apex and two small indistinct dark fuscous spots obliquely placed towards the costa at one-fourth. A suffused whitish streak encloses an elongate semi-oval patch of stronger dark irroration along the median third of the dorsum and there is some indistinct whitish admixture in the disc posteriorly, sometimes forming a suffused streak running to the termen above the tornus. There are also four small indistinct cloudy dark fuscous spots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are light grey.[2]
