Halolaguna discoidea is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It is found in China (Chongqing, Guangxi, Sichuan).

The wingspan is 16.5–18 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is deep greyish brown with a yellowish white subapical spot. The discal and discocellular spots are blackish brown and there is a yellowish white line extending from the costal 2/5 to above the fold, edged with blackish brown scales along the inner margin. The hindwings are greyish brown, but yellowish white basally.

Etymology

[edit]

The species name refers to the discal process of the aedeagus at the apex and is derived from Latin discoideus (meaning discal).[1]
