Trachypepla amphileuca (Meyrick, 1914). F.L. 5 mm. Endemic. Scarce.
This species is similar to T. euryleucota, from which it may be readily distinguished by the posterior third of the costa being wholly white (Hudson, 1928).
It is on the wing in December and January in native forest and can be attracted to light.
