Idiophantis habrias
Meyrick, 1904

Idiophantis habrias is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]

The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous, with the dorsal half (or more anteriorly) reddish-brown sprinkled with whitish. There is an elongate-triangular dark fuscous blotch extending along the costa, broadest posteriorly, its posterior edge sinuate and connected by a curved line with the dorsal red-brown area. There are four white longitudinal lines, partially edged with dark fuscous, in the disc beyond this. An angulated pale golden-metallic dark-edged transverse line is found from the costa to the tornus, more whitish costally and there is also a pale leaden oblique streak from the costa beyond this to the apex, margined with light reddish-brown, becoming dark fuscous on the costa. Two suffused dark fuscous marks are found on the termen. The hindwings are light grey, the apex dark grey.[2]
