About Lichenaula arisema Meyrick, 1890
Lichenaula arisema is a species of moth belonging to the family Xyloryctidae. It was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1890. This moth is native to Australia, with confirmed records from the states of New South Wales, South Australia, and Victoria. Its wingspan measures between 13 and 16 millimeters. The forewings are whitish ochreous or white, marked with three moderately broad, nearly straight blackish-fuscous fasciae. The first fascia is positioned almost basally. The second is slightly curved, running from the middle of the costa to beyond the middle of the inner margin; its posterior edge sometimes has a short central projection. The third fascia is located along the hindmargin, extending from the apex almost to the anal angle, and narrows to a point towards the lower edge. Its anterior edge is sometimes angled such that it almost touches the second fascia at the center. The hindwings of Lichenaula arisema are dark grey.
