Idiophantis maelamunensis is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in Thailand.

The wingspan is about 10.5 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous with a broad blackish streak along the costa from the base, fading away into dark grey beyond the middle, the lower edge forming two broad subtriangular projections at one-fourth and before the middle, reaching about half across the wing, and the outer edge of posterior projection being nearly straight. There are two blackish dots longitudinally placed in the disc, the inner being vestigially present at the middle and the outer being distinct at two-fifths. There is an angulated whitish line from two-thirds of the costa to the dorsum before the tornal prominence, edged with dark brown on both sides and on the costa with blackish-brown. There is a fine oblique dark brown line beyond this from the costa to the termen on the upper third and a small blackish spot, mixed with bronzy-metallic lustre, the on termen at the base of the tornal prominence. The hindwings are pale grey, slightly tinged with ochreous.
