Erysiptila is a genus of moths in the family Depressariidae. It contains only one species, Erysiptila clevelandi, which is found in Panama and Costa Rica.[2]
The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are white, irregularly mottled with grey and with a suffused blackish-fuscous triangular patch extending on the costa from near the base to three-fifths, and reaching half across wing. There are two tufts of scales beneath this on the end of the cell and a few scattered black scales towards the dorsum in the middle. There is also a black dot in the disc towards the apex, and a smaller one on the termen beneath it. The hindwings are grey, suffused darker posteriorly.[3]
