Menestomorpha kimballi is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by W. Donald Duckworth in 1964. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Florida.[1][2]
The wingspan is 17–19 mm. The forewings are white, with three large fuscous areas along the costa and a marginal and submarginal transverse row of fuscous dots at the apex, the marginal row darker and giving a sinuated effect to the termen. Another area of dark fuscous raised scales is found at the anal angle. The hindwings are very light fuscous.[3]
Etymology
The species was named in honor of C. P. Kimball who provided the specimens for the original description.[4]
