Heteralcis holocona is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1908. It is found in Sri Lanka.[1]
The wingspan is 16–18 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous, faintly purplish-tinged and with a yellowish basal dot. There are two irregular inwardly oblique pale yellowish transverse lines before and beyond one-fourth and a triangular ochreous-yellow blotch on the costa beyond the middle, reaching more than half across the wing, as well as a yellow dot in the disc beyond the apex of this. The hindwings are dark fuscous, with a submedian groove containing an expansible pencil of very long whitish-ochreous hairs.[2]
