Locheutis fusca is a moth of the family Oecophoridae.[1] This species was discovered on 16 January 1930 by Alfred Philpott in the Tongariro National Park.[2] L. fusca was described by him later in that same year. It is endemic to New Zealand.
This moth is 13 - 14mm in size. L. fusca can be distinguished from the similar looking species Locheutis pulla as L. fusca has much longer hairs on its antenna. It is also has a much less coppery sheen to its wings than Locheutis vagata.
Philpott recorded it as being common amongst Beech forest on the banks of the Whakapapa River.
