Protithona fugitivana is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is endemic to New Zealand.[1]
The wingspan is 9–10 mm for males and 10–12 mm for females. The forewings are dull to bright ochreous, mixed with dark fuscous. There is a white or pale-ochreous streak from the base to one third of the wing, margined beneath by a dark-fuscous blotch. The forewings of the females are almost wholly suffused with greyish fuscous. The hindwings are greyish fuscous.[2]
The larvae feed on Potamogeton species.[3]
