Erechthias zebrina is a fungus moth (family Tineidae). Initially, it was mistakenly believed to be an ermine moth (family Yponomeutidae) of genus Argyresthia.
This species has a wingspan of 8–10 mm.[1] It was first described by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1881 from Hawaii, but is a widespread species reported from Africa, the Seychelles, Réunion, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, India, Australia, China, Java, Borneo, Fiji, Samoa, Society Islands, South America (including Brazil) and the West Indies.[2]
