Taygete balsamopa is a moth in the family Autostichidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1923. It is found in Amazonas, Brazil.[1]
The wingspan is 7–8 mm. The forewings are whitish yellow with scattered black specks and moderate semi-oval black spots on the costa at the base, one-third and three-fifths. There are small ochreous-orange spots edged with a few black specks representing the stigmata, the plical very obliquely before the first discal. A small grey spot sprinkled with black is found on the tornus, and two others on the termen. The hindwings are grey.[2]
