Mometa infricta is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1916. It is found in Malawi.[1][2]
The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are dark purplish-fuscous with white spots on the costa at one-sixth and on the dorsum opposite, with a few white scales between these. There is an irregular undefined slender slightly oblique white median fascia, sinuate outwards in the middle, obsolescent on the dorsum. There is a conspicuous irregular white spot on the costa beyond three-fourths and a smaller one on the tornus opposite, with a few white scales between these. There are also two or three white scales on the termen. The hindwings are grey, darker posteriorly.[3]
