Thelosia resputa Draudt, 1929

Thelosia resputa is a moth species in the family Apatelodidae. It was first described by Max Wilhelm Karl Draudt in 1929 based on a female specimen from the collection of Otto Staudinger held by the Natural History Museum, Berlin. The location where the type specimen was collected is unknown, and the species therefore has no type locality.

Appearance

The moth's appearance is pale yellow-grey forewings with a dense, brown dusting and two faint transverse lines, with a white discal spot between them. The hindwings are a pale ochreous yellow with a weak central spot.
