| Thelosia resputa | |
Thelosia resputa is a moth species in the family Apatelodidae.[2] It was first described by Max Wilhelm Karl Draudt in 1929 based on a female specimen from the collection of Otto Staudinger held by the Natural History Museum, Berlin.[3] The location where the type specimen was collected is unknown,[3] and the species therefore has no type locality.
Appearance[edit]
The moth's appearance is pale yellow-grey forewings with a dense, brown dusting and two faint transverse lines, with a white discal spot between them. The hindwings are a pale ochreous yellow with a weak central spot.[3]
