Sphalerostola argobela

Sphalerostola argobela is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1931. It is found on New Guinea.[1]

The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are red brown and whitish speckled with a fusiform white costal patch extending from the base almost to the apex, widest in the middle, where it reaches rather more than halfway across the wing, edged beneath by a dark red-brown streak almost from the base terminating in the apex, and sending a similar branch from the lower angle of the cell to the tornus, mixed with white in its lower portion. There is also a white terminal line. The hindwings are ochreous yellow.[2]
