Barea zygophora (Concealer Moth)

<p class="MsoPlainText">Barea phaeomochla specimens are small and dark but have several semi-distinct dark bars on the forewing.&nbsp; The area adjacent to the costa between the bars closest to the apex is lighter than the rest of the wing, and often presents as a blurred white patch. There are many records from the south coast and southern tablelands.</p> <p class="MsoPlainText">&nbsp;Barea zygophora is a little larger and has a series of dark spots and patches that could be be interpreted as irregular dark bars, but it is not as distinctly barred as B. phaeomochla.&nbsp; It is lighter overall than B. phaeomochla, particularly inside the costa in between the &ldquo;bars&rdquo; and towards the apex. The light patch towards the apex is quite similar to the white patch on B. phaeomochla referred to above.&nbsp; This moth seems to be more coastal then B. phaeomochla.</p> <p>There are at least two other similar species: B. subviridella and B. lithoglypta.&nbsp; Both are larger, coastal,&nbsp; and have bars that are more contrasting with the background lighter colour</p>,<p>Off-white forewings with dark brown speckles which form three vague transverse bars.</p>
