About Erechthias zebrina (Butler, 1881)
Erechthias zebrina is a species of fungus moth in the family Tineidae. It was originally misidentified as an ermine moth from the genus Argyresthia in the family Yponomeutidae. Adults of this species have a wingspan ranging from 8 to 10 millimeters. It was first formally described by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1881, based on material collected from Hawaii.
