Superfamily: Pyraloidea Family: CrambidaeSubfamily: CrambinaeTribe: HaimbachiiniP3 Number: 800788.00 MONA Number: 5500.00
Identification
Field Guide Descriptions: Online Photographs: MPG, BugGuide, iNaturalist, Google, BAMONA, GBIF, BOLDTechnical Description, Adults: Forbes (1923); Klots (1970)                                                                                 
Adult Markings: A small, cream-colored Crambid. The veins are marked with fine dark lines, with heavier dark streaks in the interspaces (Forbes, 1923); the streak opposite the cell is faint, however, compared to those in the other interspaces (Dyar, cited by Klots, 1970). Transverse lines are absent but there is a series of dark spots along the terminus. The discal spot is also dark but ringed with white. Hindwings are nearly white. X. linearella is similar in pattern and color but the veins in the interspaces beyond the cell are all similar in shading (Klots, 1970). Eoreuma densella is also similar in size, color, and pattern but the veins are white, bounded by dark.
Wingspan: 12-15 mm (Forbes, 1923)
Adult Structural Features: Male reproductive structures are used as key characters in a key provided by Klots (1970); a detailed description and illustrations are also provided.
