Scoparia famularis

Scoparia famularis is a species of moth in the Crambidae family.[2] It is endemic to New Zealand.[1]

Taxonomy

It was described by Alfred Philpott in 1930.[3][4] However the placement of this species within the Scoparia genus is in doubt.[1] As a result, this species has also been referred to as Scoparia (s.l.) famularis.[2]
