Scoparia phalerias

Scoparia phalerias is a species of moth in the family Crambidae.[2] It is endemic to New Zealand.[1]

Taxonomy[edit]

This species was described by Edward Meyrick in 1905.[3][4] However the placement of this species within the genus Scoparia is in doubt.[1] As a result, this species has also been referred to as Scoparia (s.l.) phalerias.[2]
