Varius ochnicola


Varius is a monotypic moth genus of the family Nepticulidae described by Scoble in 1983. Its only species, Varius ochnicola, was first described by Vari in 1955. It is found in South Africa.
It appears to resemble Enteucha in various ways, such as the shape of the valva and uncus, the absence of a transverse bar of the transtilla and possibly the thickening in the aedeagus.
The larvae feed on Ochna pulchra. They probably mine the leaves of their host.
