Filinota regifica is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1921. It is found in Brazil (Para).

The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are whitish-grey irrorated blackish and with a small yellow spot on the base of the costa, edged beneath by a black dot. Beyond this is a triangular pale yellow spot along the costa, edged crimson. Shining yellow-whitish transverse blotches are found from the dorsum at one-fourth and before the tornus, edged crimson, reaching half across the wing, the first of these followed in the disc by an oval yellow crimson-edged spot touching it. There is a triangular yellow crimson-edged blotch from the costa beyond the middle, directed towards the second dorsal blotch and there is an oval shining white crimson-edged blotch in the disc posteriorly, as well as a brassy-yellow marginal streak running around the apex and termen and shortly produced inwards beneath the postdiscal blotch, interiorly crimson-edged. The hindwings are yellow-whitish.
