Atteva cosmogona is a moth of the Yponomeutidae family. It is found in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil.
The coppery-purple forewings, bearing several large round white dots easily distinguish this species from the other Atteva species in the New World.
Larvae have been recorded feeding gregariously on the leaves of Simarouba amara.
