Description/
Field Marks: |
The true identity of Filatima obscuroocelella is uncertain. Identifications are in part based on the interpretation of Busck (1903, 1939). "Type of this species is lost, and no authentic specimen is found... " (Busck 1903). "A neotype would need to be designated to stabilize the nomenclature." (J-F Landry, pers. comm., 4iv2023).
"... There are three obscure brownish ocherous spots on the forewing, one of which is on the disc, another near it on the fold, and the third at the end of the cell, this last having an indistinct annulus around it." (Chambers 1875). |
