About Udea profundalis Packard, 1873
Udea profundalis is a moth species belonging to the family Crambidae. It was first described by Packard in 1873. This species is found in North America, with confirmed records ranging from British Columbia, through Washington, Oregon, and Nevada, to California and Texas. Any records of this species east of the Rocky Mountains actually refer to Udea rubigalis. The forewings of Udea profundalis measure between 8.5 and 12 mm in length. Adult moths are a deep ochreous-brown color. On the forewings, the inner line is broadly angled outwards over the median vein and angled inwards over the submedian. The forewings also feature a large, round discal dot, a bell-shaped reniform spot, and a dark outer line. The hindwings are primarily white.
