Lecithocera crebrata is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1910. It is found in southern India .[1]
The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous yellowish, in males irregularly irrorated (sprinkled) with fuscous and blackish, in females almost concealed with dense purple-blackish irroration. The discal stigmata are represented by cloudy round purple-blackish spots, their lower extremities connected in females by a streak of pale ground colour. The hindwings are pale ochreous yellowish in males, while they are rather dark fuscous in females. Males have a downwards-directed fringe of dense ochreous-yellow hair-scales along the lower margin of the cell, longest in the middle.[2]
