Nedenia

Nedenia is a monotypic moth genus in the family Depressariidae. Its only species, Nedenia rhodochra, is found in Chile. Both the genus and species were described by John Frederick Gates Clarke in 1978.[1]

The wingspan is 18–22 mm. The forewings are buff with the extreme edge of the costa narrowly coral red and yellow. There is a small, outwardly oblique blackish dash at the extreme base of the costa and at the basal third are scattered blackish scales which form an ill-defined blackish dash. A conspicuous triangular vinaceous-brown spot with its base on the costa is found at the apical two-thirds. In the cell and on the fold are some scattered blackish scales, while there is a vinaceous-brown suffusion on the dorsum. In females, the extreme dorsal edge is blackish fuscous. The hindwings are whitish to pale buff.[2]
