Protithona potamias is a species of moth in the family Tineidae and was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1909.[1] This species is endemic to New Zealand.[3]
Taxonomy
This species was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1909 and originally named Eurythecta potamias.[4][2] George Hudson discussed and illustrated this species under this name in his 1928 book The butterflies and moths of New Zealand.[5] Hudson, in 1939, subsequently placed this species in the genus Eucosma.[6] The male lectotype specimen, collected at Riverton / Aparima by Alfred Philpott, is held at the Natural History Museum, London.[2]
Habitat and hosts
This species likely inhabits salt-tolerant grasses found amongst sandhills.[2][5] Larvae of this species inhabit the riparian zone and is likely hosted by species of grass. They pupate amongst grasses.[7]
