Tirathaba leucostictalis is a species of moth of the family Pyralidae.[2] It was described by Oswald Bertram Lower in 1903. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1][3]
The wingspan is about 26 mm. The forewings are deep flashy red, deepest on the costal half. There is a small dull whitish spot in the middle of the wing at one-third from the base and a second, much smaller one in a longitudinal line at one-third, and a third midway between those two. The hindwings are greyish, faintly tinged with fuscous on the posterior half.[4]
