moth of the family
Tortricidae. It is found in
Ecuador in
Napo and
Loja provinces.
The
wingspan is 26–28 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is white preserved in the subterminal area of the wing and along the edges of the markings. The median parts of the interfasciae are grey and orange rust and there are glossy green suffusions in the basal, subdorsal and postmedian areas.

Etymology
The species name refers to the orange rust elements of the wing pattern and is derived from Latin ''ferrugineus'' (meaning rust coloured).
