Ethmia hagenella is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It is found in the United States in Texas and New Mexico. The length of the forewings is 9.1–11.9 mm (0.36–0.47 in). The ground color of the forewings is white, although the costal area is broadly pale brown. The ground color of the hindwings is white, but pale brownish toward the distal margins, concentrated into darker spots between the veins. Adults of subspecies hagenella are on wing in January, March, April and October in multiple generations per year, while adults of subspecies josephinella are on wing from late March to May and in September, probably also in multiple generations.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ethmia hagenella sighting in Austin on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 954th most-seen of the 1624 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ethmia hagenella in Austin on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ethmia hagenella is recorded against all the insects logged in Austin (15 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
