Thaumatovalva albolineana

Thaumatovalva albolineana is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Kenya. It is found at altitudes between about 1,500 and 1,600 meters.

The length of the forewings is 5.8–7.5 mm for males and 6–8 mm for females. The forewings are dark brown, irregularly and faintly mixed with specks of charcoal, rust and cream. There is an inconspicuous pair of tiny cream dots ringed with orange near the distal end of the discal cell, as well as a narrow cream irregular band extending along the termen. The hindwings are nearly uniform brown. Adults have been recorded from February to June in the Democratic Republic of Congo and in November in Kenya.

Etymology

The species name refers to the narrow band of white scales on the underside of the hindwings.
