Megacraspedus pentheres Walsingham, 1920 | |
Megacraspedus pentheres is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Walsingham in 1920. It is found in southern France.[1][2]
The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are stone-whitish, dusted with brownish cinereous and with minute black speckling around the outer third of the costa, continuing around the apex and along the dorsum to within one-third of the base. There are also three small, elongate, black dots, one in the fold beyond the middle, another slightly above and beyond it on the disc, and a third in the same line with the latter, about the end of the cell. The middle spot is equidistant between the other two. The hindwings are shining, pale bluish grey.[3]
