Palinorsa raptans is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1920. It is found in Peru and Brazil (Amazonas).[1]
The wingspan is about 28 mm. The forewings are dark brown, with violet iridescence and a suffused dark fuscous median longitudinal streak from the base to the apex, and one along the fold to a spot beneath the middle of the wing followed by a white dot, between these a band of greyish-violet suffusion extends to the termen. There is a transverse suffused dark fuscous spot from the upper margin of the median streak at three-fifths. The hindwings are grey, paler and subhyaline towards the base.[2]
