Mometa chlidanopa is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1927. It is found in Uganda.[1] [2]
The wingspan is about 17 mm. The forewings are purple blackish, somewhat speckled with ochreous whitish and with the markings light yellow ochreous, consisting of a streak from the middle of the base, upcurved beneath the costa to one-fourth, an irregular oblique transverse fasciate blotch in the middle of the disc not reaching the margins, a subtriangular spot on the costa at four-fifths, and a cloudy dot on the tornus opposite. The hindwings are grey.
The larvae feed on Hibiscus species.[3]
