Exaeretia nivalis is a moth in the Depressariidae family.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Montana, Wyoming, Washington, British Columbia and Alberta.[2][3]
The wingspan is 21-23 mm. The forewings are white, with a faint light-brown shade slightly beyond the base, in the inner angle and along the inner margin. There are two discal spots at the basal third and another, larger white-centered discal spot at the end of the cell. There is a series of spots along the costa and around the termen, as well as sparse fuscous to blackish fuscous irrorations over the entire surface of the forewing. The hindwings are white.[4]
