Prodoxus weethumpi
''Prodoxus weethumpi'' is a moth of the Prodoxidae family. It is found in the south-western and north-eastern edges of the Mojave Desert in southern California and Nevada, north-western Arizona and south-western Utah.
The wingspan is 8.75-10.6 mm for males and 9.2-13.6 mm for females. The forewings are uniform solid light tan. The hindwings are grey with a brown tinge along the front edge.〔, 2006: Phylogeny and life history evolution of Prodoxus yucca moths (Lepidoptera: Prodoxidae). ''Systematic Entomology'' 31: 1-20.〕 Adults are on wing from March to early May.
The larvae feed on ''Yucca brevifolia''. They feed inside a superficial gallery in the thickening exocarp. This gallery also serves as the diapause and pupation site. Diapause can last at least two years, and likely much longer, before pupation and emergence.
==Etymology==
The species name is derived from ''wee thump'' of the Paiute language, meaning ''ancient ones'', alluding to the longevity of ''Yucca brevifolia''.
