Compsoctena aedifica

Compsoctena aedifica is a moth in the Eriocottidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1908. It is found in South Africa (Gauteng).

The wingspan is 20-24 mm. The forewings are whitish, with scattered small blackish-fuscous strigulae. The costal edge is whitish-ochreous and there are irregular markings formed of confluent cloudy blackish-fuscous strigulae, consisting of a small, sometimes partially obsolete, basal patch, a moderate fascia from one-third of the costa to the middle of the dorsum, another from three-fifths of the costa to the tornus, and a transverse spot from five-sixths of the costa, reaching half across the wing. The hindwings are ochreous-whitish, more or less tinged with grey.
