Doxogenes brochias is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1905. It is found in Sri Lanka.[1]
The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are orange, paler towards the costa and with bronzy-fuscous markings, which are darker-edged and suffused with shining purplish-leaden. There is an elongate costal blotch at the base, extended in the disc to connect with an elongate loop-shaped discal blotch reaching to three-fifths. There is a streak along the dorsum from near the base to beyond the middle and a terminal patch occupying the apical third, its anterior edge convex. The hindwings are dark fuscous with an irregular ochreous-yellow patch in the disc towards the base.[2]
