Aeolanthes diacritica is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in India (Assam).[1]
The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are shining white, the costa tinged ochreous anteriorly and with an irregular ferruginous-orange basal spot reaching the costa but not the dorsum, sending a short streak along the fold. The dorsal area up to the cell is suffused brown, the dorsal edge towards the base whitish, otherwise dark fuscous terminating posteriorly in a blotch of dark fuscous suffusion limited by vein two. The lower and posterior margins of the cell are dark brown, with veins 2-6 marked by dark brown lines and 7-9 by fine orange lines. A ferruginous-orange streak is found along the costa from the middle, posteriorly slightly diverging and sprinkled dark fuscous, not reaching the apex and there is a dark fuscous terminal line. The hindwings are pale grey.[2]
