Loboptila cyphoma is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1915. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]
The wingspan is 14-16 mm. The forewings are ochreous-white, with a few scattered fuscous and dark fuscous scales and small fuscous spots on the costa at one-fourth and the middle. There is a broad streak of pale fuscous suffusion irrorated with dark fuscous extending along the dorsum from near the base to the tornus. The discal stigmata are dark fuscous and there is a transverse patch of dark fuscous irroration in the disc at three-fourths, terminated above by a small blackish mark, the space between this and the termen sometimes sprinkled with dark fuscous. A fine interrupted dark fuscous line is found around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are pale grey.[2]
