Alynda striata is a moth in the family Oecophoridae. It was described by John Frederick Gates Clarke in 1978. It is found in Chile.[1]
The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are ochraceous buff with the extreme edge of the costa basally greyish fuscous. There is an irregular, outwardly oblique, cinnamon-brown fascia from the basal fourth of the costa extending to the dorsum well before the tornus. Between veins 8 to 11 cinnamon are brown streaks edged with pinkish scales and there is a cinnamon-brown blotch at the end of the cell, which narrows and extends to the apex. Along the termen is a cinnamon-brown line and there are pink scales scattered over the wing surface. The hindwings are grey with some fuscous scaling around the margins and apically.[2]
