Platymacha is a genus of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It contains the species Platymacha anthochroa, which is found in New Guinea.[1]
The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are yellowish suffused purplish, the basal area more blue-purple. The stigmata form spots of blue-purple suffusion, with the plical somewhat before the first discal. There is a moderately broad clear orange-yellow terminal fascia, narrowed at the apex, the anterior edge forming two convexities with an indentation between them and preceded by dark blue-purple suffusion. There is also a pre-marginal series of small dark fuscous marks along the termen. The hindwings are whitish.[2]
