Carodista grypotatos is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It is found in Sri Lanka.[1]
The wingspan is 21–22 mm. The forewings are clothed with brown or dark brown scales with dark brown scales in the basal one-fifth of the costa and a yellowish orange costal patch. There is also a large, elliptical blackish antemedial patch bordered by yellowish orange scales along the inner margin. The median patch is X-shaped and yellowish orange and the postmedian line is zigzag shaped. The hindwings are grey with a broad orange white fascia to three-fourths along the costa.
The species name refers to the horn on the ventral margin of the valva and is derived from gryp (meaning hooked).[2]
