芒果蠻旋蛾

Hypatima spathota

描述：
芒果蠻旋蛾(Hypatima spathota)是旋蛾科/麥蛾科(Gelechiidae) Chelariinae的成員。本種的前翅狹長，為黑色底，沿後緣為米白色，前緣近頂角有一些白色紋；後翅為灰褐色底，無其他翅紋。蠻旋蛾屬(Hypatima)台灣的狀況請參考本站物種解說─Hypatima rhomboidella (Linneaus, 1758) 樺蠻麥蛾。 A Brief Introduction: As a member of the 7 Hypatima species, H. spathota was recorded in Taiwan until Park’s excellent study on this genus in 1995. The wing pattern of H. spathota is so unique that identification of this species is quite easy. However, Pyloetis mimosae (Tineidae) shares similar wing pattern with it and could be distinguished by the following characters: 1. labial palpa; 2. shape of hindwing.
