Dita phococara is a moth in the family Oecophoridae. It was described by John Frederick Gates Clarke in 1978. It is found in Chile.[1]
The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are buckthorn brown with the costa, from the base to the apical fifth, cinnamon brown. From the apical fifth of the costa a transverse cinnamon-brown shade extends to the dorsum, where it is broadest. In the center of the cell, there is a small cinnamon-brown spot and at the end of the cell a sordid white dot. The hindwings are greyish fuscous.[2]
