Sphalerostola argobela Meyrick, 1931 | |
Sphalerostola argobela is a moth in the Xyloryctidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1931. It is found in New Guinea.[1]
The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are red-brown and whitish-speckled with a fusiform white costal patch extending from the base almost to the apex, widest in the middle, where it reaches rather more than half across the wing, edged beneath by a dark red-brown streak almost from the base terminating in the apex, and sending a similar branch from the lower angle of the cell to the tornus, mixed white in its lower portion. There is also a white terminal line. The hindwings are ochreous-yellow.[2]
