About Enchocrates glaucopis Meyrick, 1883

Enchocrates glaucopis is a moth species that belongs to the family Depressariidae. It was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1883. This species is found in Australia, with all recorded specimens coming from the south-eastern part of the country. Its wingspan measures between 15 and 22 millimeters. The forewings are fuscous grey, with narrow dark fuscous margins; the costal edge, hindmarginal edge, and all veins are marked with bright carmine lines. A very indistinct straight oblique cloudy dark grey transverse line runs from the middle of the costa to the inner margin at the two-thirds position. There is also a very indistinct roundish pale yellow spot on the middle of the inner margin, which has a carmine tinge on the front or across the whole spot, and is bordered on the front by the dark grey transverse line. A round suffused blackish-grey spot is located on the inner margin at the four-fifths position; this spot is very noticeable in some specimens and completely absent in others. An indistinct dark fuscous dot is also present in the disc at the two-thirds position. The hindwings are grey whitish in male individuals, and grey in female individuals, with females' hindwings becoming paler closer to the base.
