Neopostega falcata is a moth of the family Opostegidae. It is known only from a lowland rainforest in north-eastern Costa Rica.
The length of the forewings is about 2.1 mm. Adults are almost entirely white. Adults are on wing from March to April.
Etymology[]
The species name is derived from the Latin falcatus (sickle-shaped, curved) in reference to the diagnostic, large, curved cornutus in the male aedoeagus.
