Endotricha simipunicea is a species of snout moth in the genus Endotricha. It was described by Wang and Li, in 2005, and is known from China (Zhejiang,[2] Fujian and Guizhou).[3]
The wingspan is about 14 mm for males and 13.5−15 mm for females. The forewings are pink with scattered black scales. The apical angle is dotted with some yellow scales and the costal margin has a thin interrupted black-white line along the edge. The median band is yellow edged with white. The hindwing color and pattern is the same as the forewing.
Etymology[edit]
The specific name is derived from the Latin simi- (meaning similar) and punicea the name of Endotricha punicea and refers to the similarity of the two species.
