Charitoprepes lubricosa is a moth in the species-rich subfamily Spilomelinae of the family Crambidae. It was described by William Warren in 1896 as the type species of the genus Charitoprepes.[1] The species is known from its type locality in the Indian Khasi Hills as well as from Japan and Korea.[1] [2]
The wingspan is 32 mm. The forewings are of a brown ground colour and exhibit an elongate dark brown spot in the apex, and feature two dark brown stigmata below the lighter brown costa. The hindwings are of a lighter brown ground colour than the forewings, and they exhibit a darker brown discal spot. In Japan, adults can be found flying in the months of May to September. The food plants of the caterpillars are still unknown.[2]
