Auratonota rubromixta is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in Ecuador.

The wingspan is about 19 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is cream, preserved only along pattern elements. These are distinctly suffused with pale ferruginous between them. The markings are rust with reddish and brown admixtures. The hindwings are white cream, tinged with brownish in the apical third.

Etymology

The specific name refers to the colouration of some pattern elements and is derived from Latin: ruber (meaning red) and mixta (meaning mixed).[1]

gollark: The main obstacle in the way of the OMSP™ is that I also can't afford much storage.

gollark: I really should set up some sort of *form* to submit data for surveillance purposes.

gollark: Funding for cameras and satellites and exploits and taps on fibre lines and stuff, I mean.

gollark: We don't really have much funding, so I'll need to take donations of data.

gollark: > mass surveillance is ok as long as its me who does itSince I'm me, do you mind if I launch the osmarks.tk mass surveillance program™?
