Moca chrysocosma is a moth in the family Immidae. It was described by Alexey Diakonoff in 1967. It is found on Luzon in the Philippines.[1]
The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous with a blue-lilac gloss in certain lights, the markings bright yellow, well defined. There is a clavate patch along less than the anterior half of the costa, extending over the upper half of the base of the wing, posteriorly dilated into a rounded-triangular tooth almost to the middle of the wing, the lower edge of the patch concave, the posterior edge convex. A slightly oblique erect semi-oval moderate patch is found on two-thirds of the costa and there are faint markings of lilac-blue iridescence. A short transverse streak is found along the closing vein and a marginal line along the posterior fourth of the costa, in the apex and along the termen. The hindwings are dark fuscous, the dorsum with a narrow pale yellow streak.[2]
