Patoptoformis is a genus of moths belonging to the family Cossidae.[1][2]
The genus consists of small dark colored moths with dark hair densely covering the body. The antennae are bipectinate. Forewing with a scarcely seen streaky pattern; hindwing dark without pattern; fringe evenly dark on both wings. Sexual dimorphism weakly expressed but female somewhat larger than male with wider wings and non-pectinate antennae.[2]
