Comotechna scutulata

Comotechna scutulata is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1921. It is found in Brazil.[1]

The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are rather dark fuscous with a rather broad ochreous-whitish streak along the costa from the base, marked with very oblique cloudy dark fuscous strigulae from the costa near the base and at one-fourth, and terminated by a very oblique orange-yellow blackish-edged striga from the costa before the middle, followed by a white posteriorly black-edged strigula and a large medio-dorsal rather oblique transverse dark fuscous blotch edged with whitish, reaching three-fourths across the wing, the anterior edge strongly convex, the posterior almost straight, the apex shortly projecting posteriorly, a transverse fasciate streak of dark fuscous suffusion edged on each side with grey-whitish suffusion midway between this and the base. There is an irregular transverse leaden line at three-fourths, preceded on the dorsal half by an 8-shaped darker blotch edged with ochreous whitish, on the costa followed by an ochreous-whitish dot. There are some slight marks of ochreous-whitish suffusion in the disc beyond this, as well as an oblique leaden line before the apex from an ochreous-whitish spot in the costal cilia, then to the tornus abutting on an ochreous-whitish terminal line. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
