Sarisophora leucoscia is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It is found in Australia (including Queensland)[2] and New Zealand.[3]
The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are whitish suffused with fuscous, leaving the basal costal area, a median streak, and much of the central area whitish. There is a broad rounded dark-fuscous dorsal patch from near the base to beyond the middle. The discal spots are dark-fuscous, the first discal at one-third, the second discal just beyond the middle, the plical included in the dorsal patch. A dark-fuscous subcostal line is found from the base to one-fourth and there are some dark fuscous scales on the postmedian veins. The hindwings are pale grey.[4]
