Lypusa tokari is a moth of the Lypusidae family. It is found in Austria, Hungary, northern Italy, Bulgaria, Albania and in Slovakia. The habitat consists of warm, grassy, dry, sandy habitats mainly in oak tree forests or heath.
It is virtually identical in appearance to Lypusa maurella, but more robust and slightly larger. It is however easily distinguished by the genitalia in both sexes. The length of the forewings is 7.5-8.1 mm for males and 8.2–9 mm for females.[2]
Adults are on wing from mid-April to early June.
