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

Taxonomy

This species was described by George Howes in 1946.[4][2] However the placement of this species within the genus Scoparia is in doubt.[1] As a result, this species has also been referred to as Scoparia (s.l.) valenternota.[3]

Description

The wingspan is about 37 mm. The forewings are white with a streak of ochreous-brown shading along the costa. There is a black line from the base on the costal edge. The subterminal and subcostal lines together form a Y-shaped mark. The hindwings are grey-white, but darker on the upper costal and outer terminal areas. Adults have been recorded on wing in December.[4]

gollark: I mean, it would probably be significantly bigger if you just ran PCM audio through a general purpose compression algorithm.

gollark: Who knows.

gollark: https://wiki.vexatos.com/dfpwmIt's weird and I don't think anything else uses it.

gollark: DFPWM, I'll link it.

gollark: Natively, Computronics tapes are basically just big binary storage things you can playback DFPWM from, so my thing consists of an encoder which converts whatever input to WAV to DFPWM using external tools, as well as reading their metadata and adding a metadata block to the start of the tape to be read.
