Paralecta tinctoria is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Thomas Pennington Lucas in 1894. It is found in Australia,[1] where it has been recorded from Queensland.
The wingspan is 24–26 mm. The forewings are creamy white, the costa light, with a patch near the base reddish grey, a patch on the inner margin in the second and third fourth ferruginous red, more or less suffused or tinted into ground colour toward the costa at the apex. There is a fine inconspicuous line at three-fourths. The hindwings are creamy white.[2]
