Synclera retractilinea is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Hampson in 1917.[1] It is found in Kenya.[2]
The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are white, the costal and terminal areas with a faint ochreous tinge. There is a curved yellow-brown antemedial line and a slight brown mark in the middle of the cell and a discoidal bar. The postmedial line is yellow-brown, rather oblique to vein 5, then erect to below vein 3, then retracted to the lower angle of the cell and rather oblique to the inner margin. There is a curved rather indistinct and diffused yellow-brown subterminal line, somewhat dentate between two of the veins. There is a fine yellow-brown terminal line. The hindwings are white, the terminal area with a faint ochreous tinge. The postmedial line is yellow-brown, straight and erect to below vein 3, then retracted to the lower angle of the cell and rather oblique to the inner margin. There is a curved yellow-brown subterminal line, incurved at vein 3 to the angle of the postmedial line and ending at the tornus. There is also a fine yellow brown terminal line, except towards the tornus.[3]
