Chlamydastis poliopa is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in Colombia.[1]

The wingspan is 22-23 mm. The forewings are whitish sprinkled with fuscous and with black dots on the base of the costa, and towards the base in the middle. There is a straight oblique series of four black dots from the costa at one-fourth, the two lower forming the first discal and plical stigmata, the plical edged anteriorly by a white tuft. The second discal stigma is raised, white and edged with dark fuscous. There are small blackish spots on the costa before the middle and at two-thirds, giving rise to two transverse series of cloudy blackish dots, strongly bent in the disc and sinuate inwards below this, the second running to the tornus. A submarginal row of small blackish spots is found around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are grey.[2]
