Thaumatovalva spinai

Thaumatovalva spinai is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in Ethiopia and possibly Nigeria.

The length of the forewings is about 6 mm. 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.

Etymology

The species is named for Giuseppe Spina, who collected the holotype.
