Ptilothyris neuroplaca is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1933. It is found in Zambia.[1][2]
The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are ochreous yellow with blackish markings. There is an irregular ill-defined more or less interrupted narrow subbasal fascia and a very broad transverse band from before the middle to five-sixths defined by more or less expressed blackish interneural streaks, leaving strong ochreous-yellow lines on the veins. There is a subterminal streak of suffusion towards the tornus only. The hindwings are blackish grey, with a whitish-ochreous ante-apical mark.[3]
