Bactra furfurana, the mottled marble,[2] is a moth of the Tortricidae family described by Adrian Hardy Haworth in 1811. It is found in the Nearctic[3] and Palearctic ecozones.[4]
The moth has a wingspan of 13–19 mm. Its habitat is damp marshy regions with adults flying in June and July. Adults are very similar to Bactra lancealana.[5]
The larvae feed within the stems of various rushes, such as Schoenoplectus lacustris and Juncus conglomeratus, hollowing out the stem.
