Phatnotis factiosa is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1913. It is found in southern India.

The wingspan is 21-22 mm. The forewings are light greyish-ochreous more or less tinged with fuscous, the costal edge pale yellow-ochreous, suffused beneath with whitish-ochreous and with an indistinct slender irregular fascia of dark fuscous suffusion at two-fifths, interrupted above the middle. The second discal stigma is dark fuscous and there is a slender rather incurved fascia of dark fuscous suffusion from two-thirds of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, dilated on the costa, edged posteriorly with ochreous-whitish. The hindwings are pale ochreous, the termen tinged with fuscous.
