Inape arcuata is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae which is endemic to Peru.

The wingspan is 23 millimetres (0.91 in). The ground colour of the forewings is pale ferruginous. The markings on the costal half of the wing are dark black-brown. The hindwings are creamish, tinged brownish grey in the posterior half, with darker spots.

Etymology

The species name refers to the curvature of the transtilla and is derived from Latin arcuatus (meaning arched).[2]

gollark: All aeons, in theory.

gollark: I wonder whether some sort of modified external trade hub with more freedom to offer on multiple things would work better.

gollark: I've decided that it is probably impossible without days of waiting.

gollark: Mine is from the cave. They turn up quite a lot, I think.

gollark: I don't know, I'm reposting the trade with a stunned hatchling.
