Sisurcana rufograpta is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in Ecuador in the provinces of Morona-Santiago and Tungurahua.[2]

The wingspan is about 30.5 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is yellowish brown up to the middle and brownish, densely strigulated (finely streaked) grey postmedially with two reddish rust marks postbasally. The distal third of the wing is dark brown. The hindwings are cream with a slight brown admixture and brownish on the periphery.

Etymology

The species name to the presence of a postbasal mark on the forewing and is derived from Latin rufus (meaning rust) and Greek graptos (meaning marked).[3]

gollark: > there are tools that prevent you from doing unsafe thingsThey don't seem to be hugely *good* at it, or at least aren't deployed enough, given the massive frequency of memory-related bugs in C projects.

gollark: People make mistakes and you can't just tell them not to. Even SQLite, which is ridiculously extensively tested and has very skilled developers, has bugs sometimes. If a language can prevent significant classes of mistake without horrible tradeoffs, that is a good thing to have.

gollark: But seriously, "just don't do unsafe things and it's fine" is such a bad argument.

gollark: Actually mostly.

gollark: I use non-Rust languages sometimes.
