Esperia sulphurella

Esperia aucta (Krausse, 1915) Esperia orbonella (Hübner, [1813]) Tinea orbonella Hübner, [1813] Tinea sulphurella Fabricius, 1775 Esperia sulphurella, also known as the sulphur tubic, is a species of gelechioid moth in the family Oecophoridae.

The predominantly pale yellow hind wings are dark brown at the tips.

[1] The larvae are black and feed on dead wood.

Subsequently, the same scientific name was used for several other moths, creating a number of junior homonyms that are all invalid.

This article on a moth of the family Oecophoridae is a stub.
