Moca pelomacta is a moth in the Immidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Brazil.[1]
The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are pale brownish-ochreous sprinkled dark fuscous and with suffused irregular dark fuscous spots on the costa near the base and at one-fourth and the middle, and on the base of the dorsum. There are less defined smaller spots in the disc at one-fourth and the middle and there is a transverse dark fuscous mark on the end of the cell, and a blotch beneath the middle of the disc confluent with its lower extremity. There are also two very irregular interrupted posterior dark fuscous shades and a dark fuscous marginal line around the apex and termen. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
