Dysoptus pentalobus is a species of moth in the family Arrhenophanidae. It is known only from the type locality in the Atlantic coastal forests of south-eastern Brazil.
The length of the forewings is about 4.8 mm for males.[1] Adults are on wing in late January (based on one record). It was first described by Donald R. Davis in 2003.[1]
Etymology[edit]
The specific name is derived from the Greek pente (five) and lobos (a rounded projection), in reference to the complex, five-lobed, saccular apex of the valva.
