Cryptolechia robusta is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Wang in 2006.[1] It is found in China (Hubei).

The length of the forewings is 16–17 mm. The forewings are pale yellow, with scattered brown scales and a small brown dot at the middle of the cell. The first brown fascia runs from the costal three-fifths to the tornus and the second brown fascia extends from the apex to the tornus and is joined with the first fascia, forming a V-shaped pattern. The hindwings are pale grey. The hindwings are black.

Etymology

The species name refers to the aedeagus and is derived from Latin robustus (meaning stout).[2]
