Peridaedala speculata is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae first described by Józef Razowski in 2013. It is found on Seram Island in Indonesia. The habitat consists of upper montane forests.

The wingspan is about 17 mm. The forewings are green with white costal strigulae (fine streaks) in the posterior half of the wing with blackish divisions. The markings are also blackish. The hindwings are greyish.

Etymology

The specific name refers to the similarity to its congeners and is derived from Latin speculum (meaning a similarity).[1]

gollark: You can do that for reals. It might just be infinitely long.

gollark: No FINITELY undescribable.

gollark: Hmm. So we can only show that there are no undescribable integers?

gollark: You could fiddle around with alternative ways to enumerate them but the GTech™ GOrdering™ (which I think is just lexicographical ordering with extra steps) may not work well for infinitely long ones.

gollark: We fixed the issue with complex numbers contaminating batches.
