Agonopterix senicionella
Agonopterix senicionella is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by August Busck in 1902.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia.[2] The wingspan is 18–22 mm. The forewings are dark ochrous gray, overlaid and suffused with brownish ochrous. There is a light basal patch, suffused on the costa with fuscous, containing a blackish-fuscous spot in the fold and bordered outwardly by a fading fuscous shade. There are two black discal dots at the basal third in the cell and a black discal dot at the end of the cell, preceded by an indistinct fuscous shade. The termen and costa are marked with ill-defined fuscous spots. The hindwings are grayish fuscous, but darker apically.[3] The larvae feed on Packera aurea (Senecio aureus).[4]  References
