Diplogrypa is a genus of moths of the family Oecophoridae erected by Ian Francis Bell Common in 1997. It contains only one species, Diplogrypa microptera which was first described by Turner in 1916[1] and is found Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[2]
The wingspan is 12–14 mm. The forewings are pale fuscous, sparsely sprinkled with fuscous and with a discal dot at two-fifths, a second beneath it on the fold and a third at three-fifths. The hindwings are ochreous whitish, at the apex tinged with fuscous.[3]
