Dolichotorna is a genus of moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It contains the species Dolichotorna tholias, which is found in Sri Lanka.[1]
The wingspan is 13–14 mm. The forewings are brownish, somewhat mixed or in males mostly suffused with ochreous-whitish, somewhat sprinkled with dark fuscous. There are very undefined markings formed by darker fuscous suffusion coarsely irrorated with blackish-fuscous: a streak along the submedian fold, a cloudy patch in the disc beyond the middle, and a patch occupying the apical fourth of the wing. The hindwings are pale whitish-ochreous in males and whitish-grey in females.[2]
