Scorpiopsis rhodoglauca

Scorpiopsis rhodoglauca is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1930. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.^[1]

The wingspan is about 23 mm. The forewings are crimson, with numerous small pale yellow spots arranged in series. The costal edge is crimson, beneath this a narrow dark grey streak throughout continued around the termen to the tornus. There is a small dark grey spot on the dorsum at two-fifths, from which some slight grey suffusion runs to the dark grey second discal stigma. There is also a curved fascia of grey suffusion tending to be broken into streaks from two-thirds of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus. The hindwings are whitish, suffused light rosy-pink except towards the base, with the basal hairs tinged ochreous.^[2]
