Idolatteria pyropis is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in Costa Rica.[2]
The wingspan is about 29 millimetres (1.1 in). The forewings are deep orange, the costa and termen alternately marked with dark purple and yellowish white, the purple assuming a more reddish tinge where it encroaches on the orange ground colour. There is a series of nine costal, one apical and six or seven terminal streaks. The hindwings are reddish orange, spotted with purplish fuscous throughout.[3]
