Tinea 18: 58. TL: Thailand, Chiang Mai. [OPU, Japan].

Diagnosis. The forewing pattern is similar to that of F. forficatella Meyrick , but F. m o r i u t i i is larger than F. forficatella . The male genitalia have easily separable characteristics: the valva without median protrusion on the ventral margin; the median lobe of the juxta stouter with shorter apical arms; and cornuti of the aedeagus longer. The female is as yet unknown.

Adult ( Fig. 8 , holotype). Wingspan, 17.0–18.0 mm.
