Corita amphichroma is a moth in the Oecophoridae family and only species in the Corita genus. It was described by Clarke in 1978. It is found in Chile.[1]
The wingspan is 16-19 mm. The forewings are clay with three black discal spots, one on the fold, one in the cell at two-fifths and one at the end of the cell. The costa has two buff spots, one, the smaller of the two slightly before the middle, the larger one slightly beyond the middle, the latter followed by an ill-defined fuscous blotch. From the outer angle of this blotch an outwardly curved row of small fuscous spots ends at the tornus. The hindwings are ocherous white with the veins and outer margin infuscated.[2]
