Clepsigenes dissota is a moth in the Xyloryctidae family,[1] and the only species in the genus Clepsigenes.[2][3] The genus and species were both described by Edward Meyrick in 1930 and are found in New Guinea.[4]
The wingspan is about 28 mm. The forewings are whitish, with the scaling ribbed between the veins, and some scattered black specks. There is a blackish-grey subquadrate spot on the base of the costa. The discal stigmata are black, with a dark grey dot above the first, some pale brownish suffusion and black sprinkling between these and some faint greyish suffusion about veins 7 and 8. The terminal edge is black between the veins, forming a thicker mark at the apex. The hindwings are pale whitish-violet.[5]
