Thioscelis lipara explained

Thioscelis lipara is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by W. Donald Duckworth in 1967. It is found in Amazonas, Brazil.[1]

The wingspan is about 53 mm. The forewings are ochreous, overlaid with light brown and with a small, distinct S-shaped black spot on the median third near the costa surrounded by a small patch of ill-defined black dots. The transverse subterminal and terminal lines are complete (rather than composed of dots) and only slightly curved. The hindwings are ochreous lightly overlaid with grey.[2]
