Pacificulla zonias is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]
The wingspan is about 14 mm (0.55 in). The forewings are dark purple fuscous with a moderately broad straight ochreous-yellow fascia about the middle, slightly narrowed downwards. The hindwings are dark grey with a rather broad irregular pale ochreous-yellow transverse fascia rather before the middle, enclosing a dark grey discal dot.[2]
