Spulerina lochmaea is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from South Africa.[2]
The larvae feed on Mangifera indica.[3] They probably mine the leaves of their host plant.[citation needed] S. lochmea was first described from a female specimen found at Mariepskop in South Africa. The moths have white heads and brown-grey antennae with white and pale grey undersides. Their abdomens are also brown-grey above and white below; the thorax is "whitish". Their hindwings and cilia are also grey-brown but their forewings are ochre brown with black-edged white layers of tissue. The holotype was 8 mm long.[4]
