Scoparia subita is a species of moth in the family Crambidae.[3] It is endemic in New Zealand.[1]

Taxonomy

It was described by Alfred Philpott in 1912 using the name Orocrambus subitus.[4][2] In 1929 Philpott noted that this species should be regarded as being in the genus Scoparia.[5][2] However the placement of this species within Scoparia is in doubt.[1] As a result, this species has also been referred to as Scoparia (s.l.) subitus.[3]

Description

The wingspan is 15–16 mm. The forewings are golden brown sprinkled with white scales and irrorated with white in the disc and along the dorsum. The hindwings are dark brownish-fuscous in males and grey in females. Adults have been recorded on wing in December.[4]

gollark: There's no (widely used) standard saying "if you're displaying an event/contact information/whatever else, you need these tags/attributes", so you generally just have to work off site-specific classes and structure.

gollark: If you want to, say, pull a list of scheduled events from one website, that's fine, you can do that quite easily, but if you want to do it for *many* websites, it is not.

gollark: But generally speaking, what I mean is that HTML is structured, but for display and not extracting (much) general data.
