Idiophantis hemiphaea
Meyrick, 1907

Idiophantis hemiphaea is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1907. It is found in India (Assam).[1]

The wingspan is 13-16 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous, the costal half from the base to the posterior streaks suffused with rather dark fuscous, darkest towards the base. There are two fine oblique whitish posteriorly black-edged streaks, the first meeting a very undefined erect line of pale bronzy-metallic and blackish scales from the dorsum before the tornal prominence, the second running into the apex. The tornal prominence beyond this line is suffused with coppery-metallic on the margins. There is a black dot at the base of the excavation. The hindwings are grey.[2]
