| Odites scribaria Meyrick, 1915 | |
Odites scribaria is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1915. It is found on the Solomon Islands and New Guinea.[1]
The wingspan is 21–26 mm. The forewings are white with a black speck in the middle of the base and a black dot beneath the costa near the base, one towards the costa at one-fourth, and one towards the dorsum somewhat before this. The stigmata are raised and black, the plical obliquely beyond the first discal. There is a short oblique blackish mark or spot on the middle of the costa, where a very strongly curved subterminal series of blackish dots runs to the dorsum before the tornus. A more or less developed series of black dots is found around the apex and termen. The hindwings are white.[2]
