Sparganocosma

Wikipedia Abstract

Sparganocosma is a genus of moths in the Tortricidae family. It contains only one species, Sparganocosma docsturnerorum, which is found in north-western Costa Rica. The length of the forewings is 8.8–11 mm for males and 10.5–13 mm for females. The forewings have two large ovoid patches of pale buff in the costal region. These patches are infrequently separated by a narrow brown remnant of a median fascia. The patches usually have small flecks of brown. The remainder of the wing has a broad brown longitudinal band along the dorsum. The hindwings are rather uniformly dark grey brown. They are slightly darker in females.
