Lecithocera lamprodesma

Description

Lecithocera lamprodesma is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1922. It is found on Sulawesi. The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are lilac-grey with a bluish-silvery-metallic streak edged with grey, from the base of the costa beneath the costa to one-third, edged above by a slender ochreous-yellow the costal streak from near the base, and beneath by an ochreous-yellow streak marked with a blackish dot near the base, then by another bluish-silvery-metallic streak, and then another ochreous-yellow streak. There is also an irregular blackish fascia at two-fifths, edged with ochreous-yellow, reduced on the costa to a small spot separated by ochreous-yellow. Beyond this is a median band of pale yellowish scanty strigulation, including a bluish-silvery-metallic longitudinal mark beneath the middle of the costa. There is also a small blackish spot representing the second discal stigma and a trapezoidal dark fuscous blotch occupying the tornal area and reaching half across the wing, the costal half above this yellow-ochreous including a bluish-silvery-metallic streak beneath the costa. A narrow silvery-metallic terminal fascia is narrowly interrupted above the middle, the upper portion edged anteriorly by a blackish line. The hindwings are rather dark grey.
