Chlamydastis paradromis is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1915. It is found in Colombia.
The wingspan is 27-29 mm. The forewings are white, speckled with grey and with a short oblique blackish mark from the base of the costa and an oblique series of three blackish marks from the costa at one-fifth, the third representing the first discal stigma. There are blackish spots on the costa before the middle and at two-thirds, the first giving rise to a very oblique series of three small blackish marks connected with an irregular cloudy dark fuscous line passing behind the cell and becoming obsolete near the dorsum, the second to a curved cloudy fuscous line becoming much thicker and darker on the dorsal half and running to the dorsum before the tornus. There is a white tuft representing the plical stigma, edged with dark fuscous above and there is also a transverse white tuft on the end of the cell, partially edged with dark fuscous behind and beneath. A curved submarginal series of cloudy fuscous or dark fuscous spots is found around the apex and termen, thickened and subconfluent opposite the middle of the termen and there is a marginal series of lunulate fuscous marks around the apex and termen. The hindwings are grey, paler towards the base.
