The Citrus Flower Moth (Prays nephelomima) is a moth of the Yponomeutidae family. It is found in Australia (New South Wales and southern Queensland) and New Zealand.
The wingspan is about 10 mm.
The larvae are a pest on Citrus species. They bore into the petals or receptacle of the flower buds of their host plant, causing premature flower drop or fruit distortion.
