Agonopterix fusciterminella is a moth in the Oecophoridae family. It was described by Clarke in 1941.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from California to southern British Columbia, as well as from North Carolina and Tennessee.[2]
The wingspan is 22-25 mm. The forewings are ochreous, overlaid with reddish brown and sprinkled with fuscous to black scales. The extreme base is ochreous, in the dorsal half followed by a strong red-brown patch. There are two small black spots at the base of the cell, followed by a strong fuscous or black cloud. The latter surrounded by reddish-brown suffusion. The hindwings are whitish, suffused apically with fuscous.[3]
The larvae feed on Senecio aronicoides and Cacaliopsis nardosmia.[4]
