Lecithocera bimaculata is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae first described by Kyu-Tek Park in 1999. It is found in Taiwan.[2]
The wingspan is 20–21 mm. The forewings are yellowish orange, slightly speckled with dark-brown scales. They are broader towards the termen. There are two discal spots, a small one in the middle and larger one at end of the cell and inconspicuously connected with the pretornal patch. The hindwings are pale yellowish white.
Etymology[]
The species name is derived from the Latin bi (meaning two) and maculata (meaning spot) and refers to the two distinct discal spots.
