Paralecta electrophanes is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1930. It is found in Malaysia.[1]
The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are light violet grey, the base suffused with white, the costal edge white, on the basal fourth more broadly suffused with white. There is a triangular blotch of darker greyish-violet suffusion on the dorsum before the middle, enclosing a faint ochreous-whitish erect wedge-shaped spot on the dorsum. There is also a greyish-violet angulated shade crossing the wing at two-thirds and an undefined terminal fascia of violet suffusion. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
