Hypercallia psittacopa

Hypercallia psittacopa is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1912. It is found in Colombia.^[1]

The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are deep bronzy-brown largely suffused with purple-blackish and with a large yellow basal patch reticulated with bright crimson-red, not reaching the dorsum, irregularly marked with dark fuscous towards the costa, the outer edge angulated in the middle. The first discal stigma is represented by a black dot within the angle of the basal patch, the second by an irregular roundish yellow spot containing a suffused crimson-red ring. There are yellow transverse spots marked beneath with crimson-red on the costa before the middle and at two-thirds, as well as a subterminal series of pale yellowish dots. The hindwings are dark fuscous.^[2]
