Lethata satyropa is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in French Guiana.[1]

The wingspan is about 25 mm. The forewings are deep ochreous, with scattered black scales and with the costal edge dull crimson from the base to two-thirds, suffused beneath with purple and with a slender brown-red streak along the dorsum nearly throughout. There is a cloudy purplish line at two-fifths from the disc to the dorsum and a rather large round dark fuscous spot in the disc beyond the middle, containing a transverse purplish spot. A faint fine curved fuscous subterminal line is found from the disc to the dorsum and the apical and terminal margin are deep yellow-ochreous. The hindwings are whitish-ochreous, the dorsal third suffused with pale greyish, the apical and terminal edge yellow.[2]
