Issikiopteryx corythista is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It is found in India.[1]
The wingspan is 13 mm. The forewings are orange-yellow with light bronzy-fuscous markings and a streak along the basal sixth of the costa, a small blackish spot beneath it at the base and a slightly oblique transverse fascia at one-third, not quite reaching the costa. There is also a patch occupying the apical half of the wing, the anterior edge somewhat convex, including a yellow spot above the tornus. The hindwings are pale ochreous, with a long expansible pale ochreous hairpencil from the base, lying in a submedian furrow.[2]
