Cosmopterosis hispida is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Maria Alma Solis in 2009. It is found in Brazil (Rio de Janeiro).[1]
The apical two thirds of the forewings is rufous, while the costa and basal one fourth are creamy to yellowish white with brown-tipped scales. There is a rufous spot in the area between the subbasal and medial lines on the hindwings. The postmedial and subterminal lines consist of brown-tipped scales.
Etymology[edit]
The species name refers to the brushlike lateral projections forming the sclerotized dorsal extension from the base of the juxta and is derived from Latin hispidus (meaning bristly).[2]
