Hoplomorpha notatana

Hoplomorpha notatana is a moth in the Oecophoridae family. It was described by Walker in 1863.^[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.^[2]

The wingspan is 19-25 mm. The forewings are whitish-grey, irregularly suffused with dark-fuscous scales. The basal one-third of the costa, apex and upper half of the hindmargin are dark-fuscous and there is a very large semicircular purplish-fuscous blotch extending on the inner-margin from one-fifth nearly to the anal angle reaching two-thirds across the disc, its anterior margin rounded, its posterior margin straighter, more oblique, and acutely angled just above the anal angle. There are also two small purplish-fuscous dots in the disc posterior to the summit of the dorsal blotch. The posterior portion of the disc is more or less suffused with fuscous, with a paler line first oblique, then parallel to the hindmargin. The hindwings are pale-ochreous, the apex suffused with fuscous.^[3]
