Triclonella elliptica is a moth in the Cosmopterigidae family. It is found in Guyana and Brazil.[1]
The wingspan is 18–20 mm. The forewings are rather deep ochreous-bronze with a slightly incurved white line from two-thirds of the costa to three-fourths of the dorsum, the area beyond this wholly blackish, finely irrorated with white except on a roundish blotch occupying the upper two-thirds of the termen. The terminal edge is finely white. The hindwings are grey becoming blackish-grey posteriorly, subhyaline in the cell and towards the base beneath the cell.[2]
