Crocanthes heliograpta

Crocanthes heliograpta is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1929. It is found on New Guinea.[1]

The wingspan is about 17 mm (0.67 in). The forewings are deep reddish orange with black markings and two irregular transverse streaks towards the base, a third about two-fifths, its lower portion enlarged into a spot, the first discal stigma between the second and third of these, the plical forming a projection on the posterior edge of the second, the second discal a transverse spot near beyond the third. There is an irregular transverse line from the costa at three-fourths to a small dorsal spot before the tornus, slightly indented in the middle. There is also a triangular apical and terminal patch, its edge near and parallel to the preceding. The hindwings are deep reddish orange with black markings. A basal spot, a dot in the disc beyond this, a transverse discal spot at two-fifths, and a larger irregular transverse spot beneath this nearly reach the margin. There is an irregular sinuate transverse line at three-fourths, as well as two confluent round spots and a dot below them on the upper part of the termen.[2]
