Endotricha mesenterialis PYRALINAE PYRALIDAE

I was not able to find the larval food plant for Australia, but in Malaysia, the family Dipterocarpaceae seems to be the main source. The next level up the botanical tree is the order Malvales and the larval food plants are probably going be in that group.
A plant in the family Guttiferae is also mentioned as a host in West Malaysia.
Wingspan is about 10mm.



Family:- PYRALIDAE
Sub Family:- PYRALINAE
Genus:- Endotricha 
Species:- mesenterialis
