Amphitorna lechriodes is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Turner in 1926.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland[2] and New South Wales.[3]
The wingspan is about 32 mm for males and 38 mm for females. The forewings are reddish-ochreous with some darker irroration. There is an outwardly oblique dark-reddish line from two-thirds of the costa to vein 6, there angled and inwardly oblique to three-fifths of the dorsum. The hindwings have a gently sinuate termen and are similar to the forewings, but the transverse line from the mid-dorsum is straight.[4]
