Tinea conferta explained

Tinea conferta is a species of moth in the family Tineidae.[1] It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1914.[2] [3] However the placement of this species within the genus Tinea is in doubt. As a result, this species has been referred to as Tinea (s.l.) conferta. This species is endemic to New Zealand.[4] This species has a pair of yellow marks near the dorsum with dark patches between these.
