Lethata anophthalma is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in Brazil (Paraná, Amazonas), Venezuela, Bolivia, Paraguay, northern Argentina, French Guiana and Guyana.[1]
The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are light ochreous-brown, the costal edge from the base to two-thirds, brown edged rather dark grey beneath. There is an indistinct fuscous oblique slightly excurved streak from the dorsum at one-fourth to the first discal stigma, an indistinct small fuscous spot beneath the costal edging beyond this. The second discal stigma is small, obscure and fuscous and there is a faint hardly infuscated slender line from two-thirds of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, slightly excurved, indented above the middle. There are a few dark fuscous specks scattered near these markings and the apical edge is tinged yellowish. The hindwings are pale oohreous-yellowish.[2]
The larvae feed on Psidium guajava.[3]
