Microcolona eriptila is a moth in the Elachistidae family.[1] It is found in southern India.[2]
The wingspan is about 7 mm. The forewings are brown, densely irrorated with blackish. There is a very large tuft above the dorsum at one-third of the wing and one at the disc at three-fourths. The first discal stigma is black surrounded by an ochreous-whitish ring, rather obliquely beyond the first tuft. The hindwings are grey.[3]
