Among the species of Cryptolectica , C. euryphanta well diagnosed in wing pattern by two wide oblique white fasciae on fuscous background. The male genitalia are highly distinctive with almost parallel sided valva with bluntly rounded cucullus, a pair tufts of long setae on tegumen and two teeth in apical part of aedeagus. In female genitalia, highly spined central part of ductus bursae and two hook-shaped signa separates this species well from other known species of the genus. Flight period . Adults on the wing are recorded November–January ( Vári 1961 ; Triberti 2004 ) and in May. Host plant(s) . Unknown. FIGURE 7.
