Lethata trochalosticta is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Walsingham in 1913. It is found in Panama and Costa Rica.[1]
The wingspan is about 36 mm. The forewings are olivaceous dark yellowish green, with a slight steely sheen beyond the cell. A reddish brown shade from the middle of the base blends outward and downward with the olivaceous ground-colour, changing above to rosy red along the costa to two-thirds. A conspicuous, round, rosy red spot lies at the end of the cell, with a dark fuscous spot in its centre, and a narrow even rim of reddish brown. Just below it, and again above the tornus, is a faint reddish suffusion. The hindwings are ochreous, with a slight fuscous suffusion.[2]
