Antipterna nivea explained

Antipterna nivea is a species of moth in the family Oecophoridae, first described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1940 as Ocystola nivea.[1] [2] The species epithet, nivea, derives from the Latin adjective, niveus ("snow-white"). The male lectotype for Ocystola nivea was collected at Warwick in Queensland.[1]
