Lecithocera grammophanes is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1926. It is found on Borneo.[1]
The wingspan is about 17 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous with costal, median, and subdorsal blue-leaden-metallic streaks from the base to one-fourth, the spaces between these suffused orange. Beyond these is a narrow straight fascia of ground colour, edged posteriorly by a slender orange line followed by a blue-leaden-metallic median band dilated dorsally. The second discal stigma forms a transverse pear shaped blackish spot margined orange and there is an orange costal streak from the middle to five-sixths, anteriorly with a small dark fuscous spot followed by three approximated dots, beneath this a blue-leaden-metallic streak from the discal spot to its extremity. There are blue-leaden-metallic spots occupying the apex and tornus, almost meeting on the termen. The ground colour on the posterior two-thirds of the wing consists of suffusedly mixed orange linear scales and the terminal edge is blackish. The hindwings are rather dark grey.[2]
