Tonica cyanodoxa is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1924.[1] It is found in New Guinea.[2]
The wingspan is 41–44 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous, with several large ochreous-whitish tufts partly representing the stigmata and a curved subterminal series of smaller tufts. There is an irregular triangular patch of dark indigo-blue on the basal fourth of the costa, including one or two spots of groundcolour. The costal edge is suffused ochreous-orange to the apex. The hindwings are blackish-grey, the costal fourth light ochreous.[3]
