About Agriophara discobola Turner, 1898
Agriophara discobola is a species of moth that belongs to the family Depressariidae. It was first described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1898. This species is native to Australia, and all recorded specimens have been collected from the state of Victoria. The wingspan of adult Agriophara discobola ranges from 25 to 28 millimeters. Its forewings are whitish in base color, densely covered with fine grey speckling, and also scattered with some blackish scales. A distinct, irregular streak runs from the base of the costa along the forewing fold to a point beyond the middle of the wing disc. Directly beyond this streak, at the two-thirds position of the disc, there is a circular brownish spot that has a blackish edge on its posterior side. An oblique, broken line runs from the costa at one-fourth of the forewing length to the central streak, and a second, less distinct oblique line runs from the costa at two-fifths of the forewing length to the central streak. Beyond the brownish spot, a curved row of blackish dots arranged in a circular arc runs through the wing disc. The hindwings of this moth are dark grey.
