Crocanthes chordotona

Crocanthes chordotona is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1916. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.^[1][2]

The wingspan is about 13 mm. The forewings are deep ochreous-yellow, with a few scattered purplish scales. The markings are dark purple-fuscous with three nearly straight transverse lines, the first almost basal, the second at one-third, the third slightly beyond two-thirds, somewhat inwards-oblique from the costa. The second discal stigma is moderate, preceding the third line. The hindwings are whitish-yellowish with a grey dot on the end of the cell and a sinuate transverse grey line at two-thirds.^[3]
