Mometa chlidanopa

Mometa chlidanopa is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1927. It is found in Uganda.

The wingspan is about 17 mm. The forewings are purple-blackish, somewhat speckled ochreous-whitish and with the markings light yellow-ochreous, consisting of a streak from the middle of the base, upcurved beneath the costa to one-fourth, an irregular oblique transverse fasciate blotch in the middle of the disc not reaching the margins, a subtriangular spot on the costa at four-fifths, and a cloudy dot on the tornus opposite. The hindwings are grey.

The larvae feed on Hibiscus species.
