Moths of Toowoomba

Achoria inopina

Achoria inopina LECITHOCERIDAE

Wing span about 12mm.
I was not able to find the larval food plant but some members of the LECITHOCERIDAE family feed on leaf litter on the forest floor.
Like OECOPHORIDAE moths, the labial palpae are upturned and sharp.
The Antenae are usually longer than the wings.

Family:- LECITHOCERIDAE
Sub Family:-
Genus:- Achoria
Species:- inopina

OECOPHORIDAE OECOPHORINAE poss Cosmaresta sp

There are a lot of the moths in OECOPHORINAE that look similar to this moth, and in many cases identification can only be certain with dissection.
Genus for this one could be  Cosmaresta or Eulechria, both have similarities but I am not at all confident of either being correct.
There are 14516 specimen samples of Australian moths for OECOPHORINAE on the Bold systems site. That is a lot of moths to look through and despite the distinctive pattern it is possible I missed it.

Family:- OECOPHORIDAE
Sub Family:- OECOPHORINAE
Genus:- Cosmaresta (possibly)
Species:-
