The authors describe the recently discovered larva of Helenoscoparia nigritalis from St Helena Island and provide information on external appearance, chaetotaxy, habitats and biology. The larva is compared with those of two European species: Scoparia ambigualis (after the description in Smith, 2004) and Eudonia lacustrata (after original material).
