Pilocrocis sororalis explained

Pilocrocis sororalis is a species of moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by William Schaus in 1920.[1] It is found in Panama[2] and Guatemala.

Description

The wingspan is about 34 mm. The forewings are semihyaline white with dark cupreous-brown markings. The costal edge is pale ochreous, the markings not crossing it except the postmedial line. There is a thick broken basal line, a broad subbasal line and a fine antemedial line, as well as a medial spot from above the cell to a black line along the median. The medial spot above the submedian line is connected on the inner margin with the antemedial line by an inbent line. There is a broad fascia across the discocellular space and the postmedial line is narrow and followed by a narrow white line. The rest of the inner margin to the tornus is broadly shaded by dark and there is a large terminal dark space. The hindwings are semihyaline opalescent white.[3]
