Paralecta nephelodelta is a moth in the Xyloryctidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1930. It is found in Malaysia.

The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are white with a triangular patch of fuscous suffusion, extending on the dorsum from near the base to beyond the middle, its apex reaching to near the costa beyond the middle. There are irregularly scattered grey or fuscous scales, indicating a very indefinite straight subterminal shade and the terminal edge is suffused light grey. The hindwings are whitish-grey, with the terminal edge suffused greyer.
