Eretmocera alenica is a moth of the family Scythrididae. It was described by Strand in 1913. It is found in Equatorial Guinea.[1][2]
The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are black, bronzy dorsally and purplish along the termen. The fringes are black, with a pale yellow, oval, oblique spot at the tornus. Opposite the tornal spot is a very faint, pale yellow costal spot. Ventrally, there is a red streak, not reaching the termen, with a yellowish gloss, distally reddish-purplish. The hindwings and its fringes are blood-red in the basal half dorsally and ventrally and black with a faint bronze shine at the apical half.[3]
