Lecithocera fornacalis is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1911. It is found in Sri Lanka.[1]
The wingspan is 17-19 mm. The forewings are rather dark purplish-fuscous, in males lighter in the disc. The stigmata are represented by blackish-fuscous spots, the first discal small and roundish, the plical beneath it, larger and irregular, these two edged with whitish-ochreous posteriorly and sometimes confluent, the second discal represented by two small transversely placed spots, connected and upper edged laterally with whitish-ochreous. In males, there is a distinct whitish-ochreous slightly curved transverse line at four-fifths, dilated on the costa, indented above the middle, in females represented by a costal spot only. The hindwings are fuscous.[2]
