Netechma pecuniosa is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in Peru.

The wingspan is 24 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is yellowish cream and is preserved as numerous rounded spots. The remaining area is brown. The hindwings are creamish, in the distal half of the wing it is strigulated (finely streaked) and reticulated (a net-like pattern) with pale brownish grey.

Etymology

The species name refers to the forewing maculation (spots) resembling coins and is derived from Latin pecunia (meaning money).
