Moca oxystoma

Moca oxystoma is a moth in the family Immidae. It was described by John David Bradley in 1962. It is found on Vanuatu in the South Pacific.[1]

The wingspan is 15–17 mm. The forewings are chestnut brown mixed with mummy brown, the basal third overlaid with blackish, edged distally with scattered iridescent violet-plumbeous scales. There are three moderately large well-defined mustard-yellow elliptical spots with suffused fuscous centres on the costa, the first beyond the blackish basal area, the second a little beyond the middle, the third at about three-fourths. There is an elongate transverse blackish bar at the end of the cell (along the discocellulars), a sprinkling of iridescent violaceous scales beyond. There is a small blackish dot contiguous with the inner margin of the third costal marking and a similar pre-apical dash on the costa. The termen is outlined with a thin blackish line in which are set minute pale mustard-yellow dots at the end of the radial veins. The hindwings are light fuscous, the basal half thinly scaled and subhyaline.[2]
