Lygomusotima stria is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Solis and Yen in 2004. It is found from Singapore and Thailand to Pulo Laut (an island near Borneo).

The length of the forewings is 5-7.1 mm

The larvae feed on Lygodium microphyllum. Young larvae skeletonize the leaves of their host plant, while older larvae consume entire leaves. Pupation takes place on the host plant.

Etymology

The species name is derived from the striae in the female ductus bursae.
