Neomusotima fuscolinealis is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Yoshiyasu in 1985.[1] It is found in Japan and Hong Kong.[2] The species was studies as a potential biological control agent for Lygodium japonicum in the United States, but the species was deemed unsuitable since it also fed on the native species Lygodium palmatum.[3]
The larvae feed on Lygodium japonicum.
