Protolychnis trigonias is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]
The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are dark purplish-bronzy-fuscous, the dorsum marked with obscure whitish-ochreous strigulae. There is a narrow obscure straight antemedian fascia of whitish-ochreous suffusion and there is a small whitish-ochreous discal spot at two-thirds, as well as a small triangular whitish-ochreous costal spot before three-fourths. The hindwings are pale whitish-ochreous, irrorated with light fuscous except towards the base.[2]
