Choreutis niphocrypta

Choreutis niphocrypta is a moth in the family Choreutidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1930. It is found on New Guinea.[1]

The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are deep red brown, the basal area irrorated (sprinkled) with white and with a slightly excurved antemedian fascia of white irroration, narrowed and forming a small white spot on the costa. There is some white irroration about the end of the cell and a broader excurved fascia of white irroration from two-thirds of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, forming two small white spots on the costa and limited anteriorly by a contorted-dentate undefined line, posteriorly confluent with a subterminal fascia of white irroration from a small white spot on the costa. The hindwings are snow white with a blackish costal band occupying nearly one-third of the wing.[2]
