  Description

  
  

  Wing length: 7mm. The broad dark HW submarginal band is parallel to the wing termen but the FW has a pale patch adjacent to the post median line which like Cnaphalocrocis patnalis and C. poeyalis is displaced proximally to the rear of the FW unlike C. medinalis. The FW costa has a series of dark brown marks like some other Cnaphalocrocis spp. such as C. poeyalis.
  
  Schulze has specimens under this name but there are two different morphotypes in his series. Cnaphalocrocis trebiusalis? Schulze (2000) taxon #341a and C. mimica? taxon #341b.
