Summary edit

Description

Metalmark Moths, probably a species of Brenthia (Choreutidae). Pereybere Mauritius, October 2012.

It could possibly be Brenthia leptocosma. Brenthia leptocosma has been found on and described from Mauritius. In the 1950s it was widespread and used the weedy plant Cordia macrostachya as a host. See The Bionomics and Morphology of Brenthia leptocosma Meyrick (Lep., Glyphipterygidae), J. R. Williams, Bulletin of Entomological Research / Volume41 / Issue03 / February 1951, pp 629-635.

Meyrick's description of Brenthia leptocosma is available from BHL. Exotic microlepidoptera, v.1, 1916, Page 560. DOI: dx.doi.org/10.5962/bhl.title.9241
