Nothris hastata is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1918.[1] It is found in north-eastern India.[2]
The wingspan is 13–20 mm. The forewings are fuscous, the veins marked by faint pale lines and with blackish marks on the base of the costa and dorsum. There is a strong black central streak from the base to the end of cell, the lower edge with a short linear tooth on the fold, the extremity prolonged as a slender acute streak to near the apex. The hindwings are grey.[3]
The larvae have been recorded feeding in dry sheets of bamboo. They are variable in size, colour and markings.[4]
