Kiwaia glaucoterma

Kiwaia glaucoterma is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae.

[1] This species was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1911 using two specimens collected by Alfred Philpott on coastal sandhills at Invercargill in January.

The forewings are dark grey with an oblique bar of white suffusion from the costa at one-sixth, reaching half across the wing, accompanied with some whitish-ochreous scales, sometimes tending to extend along the costa to the base.

There is also a white patch occupying the apical fourth, mixed with dark grey or dark fuscous towards the apex, the anterior edge irregularly indented in the middle.
