Genus Merimnetria Rank Species | ||
Merimnetria epermeniella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is endemic to Kauai, Hawaii.
The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are pale fawn-ocherous, sprinkled and shaded with rust-brown and fuscous, the latter predominating in three sprinkled dorsal patches below the fold and slightly indicated along the middle of the costa. The former prevailing, in a short basal patch above the fold, in a strong outwardly oblique shade from the costa at one-fourth, reaching to the fold on the outer edge of an ill-defined oblique fascia of the paler ground color and thence in mottled sprinkling over the remaining wing-surface to the apex. The hindwings are grayish.
