Reptilisocia impetigo is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in Papua New Guinea.

The wingspan is about 18 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is whitish postbasally and at the base dorsally, with grey-brown strigulae. The wing is suffused green in the costal half postmedially and mixed grey at the apex and in the dorso-posterior fourth of the wing where it is also spotted brown-grey.

Etymology
