Crocanthes thalamectis

Crocanthes thalamectis is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Meyrick in 1929. It is found in New Guinea.[1]

The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous with ochreous-white markings. There is some irregular marbling on the base of the costa and a semi-oval spot on the middle of the costa, two confluent irregular rings touching this beneath, and a third larger connecting them with the dorsum. There is a small wedge-shaped spot on the costa towards the apex, connected by a line of a few scattered scales with the tornus. The hindwings are dark grey with two large and two or three small whitish rings irregularly placed in the disc, and a whitish line from the end of the posterior large ring to before the pro-flexus.[2]
