Ethmia pyrausta
Ethmia pyrausta is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in northern Scandinavia and adjacent Russia, as well as in China and Mongolia. The species is sometimes referred to as being "mythical", because it is so rarely encountered outside its remote native range. It is scarce resident in the UK and also found occasionally in other areas in Northern Europe.
