Idiophantis spectrata is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1911. It is found on the Seychelles, where it has been recorded from Mahé.[1][2]
The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are light fuscous with a white stria from the costa to the tornus, rounded-angulated in the middle, edged with dark grey and on the lower half suffused with grey, margined anteriorly by an orange-ochreous stria, and posteriorly on the upper half by a similar stria terminated beneath by a black dot. There is an orange streak in the apical prominence. The hindwings are light grey, the lower margin of the cell somewhat darker-suffused, on the lower surface with a fringe of hairs along it.[3]
