This species was described by Alfred Philpott in 1930.[3][4] However the placement of this species within the genus Scoparia is in doubt.[1] As a result, this species has also been referred to as Scoparia(s.l.)sinuata.[2]
Descriptionedit
The wingspan is 18–19 mm. The forewings are pale brown, mixed with blackish along the costa. The first line is white and margined with black posteriorly. The second line is also white and there is a subterminal whitish shade. The hindwings are very pale ochreous, clouded with brown. Adults have been recorded on wing in February.[3]
