Scoparia ergatis

Scoparia ergatis is a species of moth in the family Crambidae. It is endemic to New Zealand.

Taxonomy
This species was named by Edward Meyrick in 1884. Meyrick gave a description of the species in 1885. However the placement of this species within the genus Scoparia is in doubt. As a result, this species has also been referred to as Scoparia (s.l.) ergatis.

Description

The second line is also whitish, but dark-margined anteriorly. The hindwings are light grey or fuscous-grey, but darker posteriorly. Adults have been recorded on wing in January.
