Palpita quadristigmalis, the four-spotted palpita moth, is a moth in the family Crambidae.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Quebec and Ontario to Florida, west to Arizona and north to Colorado.[2]
The length of the forewings is 13.5-14.5 mm. The forewings are translucent white with a dark brown strip along the costa containing three black dots in the basal half. The hindwings are white with a dark discal dot. Adults are on wing in May and June in the north and nearly year-round in the southern part of the range.
The larvae feed on Ligustrum species.[3]
The larvae have also been found feeding on Olea europaea (olive) in Texas. They are recognized as a potential pest, as they are able to defoliate entire orchards and will also feed on the olive fruit.
