Heliangara lampetis is a moth in the Autostichidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1906. It is found in Sri Lanka.[1]

The wingspan is 11-13 mm. The forewings are bright shining purple-coppery-bronze with a suffused orange-yellow patch extending along the dorsum from one-fourth to three-fourths, narrowed to the extremities, not reaching half across the wing. There are two parallel thick transverse ridges of raised scales about two-thirds. The hindwings are dark fuscous, thinly scaled in the disc.[2]
