Psorosticha neglecta is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Diakonoff in 1968.[1] It is found in the Philippines (Luzon).[2]
The wingspan is about 19 mm for males and 20 mm for females. The forewings are pale fulvous pinkish, strewn with blackish-grey scales and blackish-grey raised tufts. There is a wedge-shaped basal patch and two small dark tufts in an oblique row, as well as a more oblique series of some five points from below the first tuft to the fold well beyond the second tuft. There are two larger transverse tufts in a series from about three-fifths of the costa to three-fourths of the dorsum and a group of minute raised scales on the dorsum. There is a series of narrow black marginal marks along the terminal edge. The hindwings are glossy, pale grey bronze.[3]
