Autosticha pentagona is a moth in the family Autostichidae. It was described by Kyu-Tek Park and Chun-Sheng Wu in 2003.[1] It is found in Guangdong, China.

The wingspan is 11.5–12 mm. The forewings are pale greyish orange, sparsely scattered with fuscous scales, more below the costa. There are three to four dark streaks at the subbasal area and the costa is almost straight and brownish orange. The first discal stigma is found at the middle, the plical below the first and the second at the end of the cell. There is a series of brownish-fuscous dots along the pre-apical part of the costa and termen. The tornus is suffused with brownish scales. The hindwings are pale orange grey.

Etymology

The species name is derived from the shape of the uncus.[2]

gollark: No, at least in this field they're frequently made by large well-funded teams, but it just takes ages for support to be implemented anywhere.

gollark: I mean, apart from support, AVIF is not very good in terms of being supported by anything at all, but it's technologically superior.

gollark: Also, JPEG bad AVIF good.

gollark: I think palaiologos wanted to get around their self-muting by leaving and rejoining. So hi.

gollark: But I think you could say that lots of things which kill you just work by reducing the amount of something or other in your body.
