Metasia harmodia is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1887. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Western Australia.[1]
The wingspan is 15–18 mm. The forewings are shining ochreous fuscous, the lines obscurely darker. The first from one-fourth of the costa to one-third of the inner margin, sometimes anteriorly whitish edged near the inner margin. The second runs from three-fourths of the costa to two-thirds of the inner margin, posteriorly partially finely edged with white, sometimes forming a spot on the costa. There is a roundish spot outlined with darker before the middle, and a subquadrate spot somewhat more distinctly outlined beyond the middle. The hindwings are fuscous grey, but darker towards apex.[2]
