Durrantia amabilis is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Walsingham in 1912. It is found in Mexico, Guatemala and Venezuela.[1]
The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are pale straw-ochreous, a shade of light chestnut-brown diffused along the dorsum, attenuate to the tornus and narrowly traceable along the termen and around the apex, above which it is slightly intensified, but becomes evanescent along the costa, recurring towards its base. A small spot of the same brownish colour at the end of the cell, and a few dark fuscous scales very sparsely scattered over the wing-surface. The hindwings are shining, pale ivory-grey.[2]
The larvae feed on Lantana camara.
