Tinea conspecta explained

Tinea conspecta is a species of moth in the family Tineidae.[1] It was described by Alfred Philpott in 1931.[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.) conspecta. This species is endemic to New Zealand.[4]
