Status:

This undescribed species may prove to be one of the more distinctive and readily recognized Coleotechnites species in the state once the species is formally described and diagnosed. The forewing ground color is a dusted, creamy white with the typical black dot pattern overlaid, but the dark patches found in related species are absent. The barcode BIN BOLD:AAI5900 appears to be this species and is most closely related to a BIN for Coleotechnites quercivorella: BOLD:AAA4967.

Relationships:

Larval host plants are unknown.
