Frisilia strepsiptila is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1910. It is found in southern India.[1]
The wingspan is 18-20 mm. The forewings are brownish-ochreous, thinly sprinkled with dark fuscous specks and with the costal edge infuscated towards the base. The discal stigmata are dark fuscous, the first dot-like, the second forming a crescentic dot, where a rather oblique streak of fuscous or dark fuscous irroration runs towards the dorsum. The termen is somewhat infuscated from the apex to near the tornus. The hindwings are whitish-ochreous tinged with fuscous, more infuscated posteriorly. In males, there is a long pencil of whitish-ochreous hairs lying along the costa from the base.[2]
