Glyphidocera plicata is a moth in the Autostichidae family. It was described by Walsingham in 1911. It is found in Panama.[1]

The wingspan is about 13 mm. The forewings are purplish fuscous, more especially at the base and along the upper side of the fold, fading to dark fawn-brown outwardly with a slight tinge of brownish ochreous towards the tornus. The only mark is a faint indication of a dark spot at the end of the cell. The hindwings are dark brown, tending to brownish ochreous on the flexal area.[2]
