Gelechia platydoxa

Gelechia platydoxa is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1923. It is found in Guyana.

The wingspan is about 13 mm. The forewings are dark purple-fuscous with a broad almost basal ochreous-white band, the edge running from one-fourth of the costa to the middle of the dorsum, irregular, followed by some ferruginous-brown suffusion, wider towards the costa. There is a spot of ferruginous-brown suffusion beneath the costa at two-thirds, followed by a semicircular white costal blotch about three-fourths. The hindwings are dark grey, lighter and thinly scaled in the disc.
