Frisilia ceylonica is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Park in 2001. It is found in Sri Lanka.[1]

The wingspan is 12.5–13 mm. The forewings are pale orange, with dark brown scales scattered irregularly, more dense along the costa at the basal one-fifth, the termen and near the inner margin. There is also a dark brown discal spot near the middle of the cell, a short dark brown streak below the end of the cell and two rows of setae-like scales along both sides of the plical line below the cell, the upper one extended near three-fourths and the lower one reaching the termen. The hindwings are pale grey.[2]
