Myconita lipara is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by John David Bradley in 1953.[1] It is found in Fiji.[2]
The wingspan is about 14 mm. The costal two-thirds of the forewings is fuscous, while the dorsal third is pale ochreous. There are two small yellow-ochreous spots ringed with ferruginous at the middle of the forewing, as well as a blackish dash edged with ferruginous between them, and another after the distal-most spot. There is an irregular suffusion of yellow ochreous, mixed with ferruginous, as well as a pale yellow ochreous spot on the costa before the apex. The hindwings are shining grey.[3]
