Oxytropha ametalla is a moth in the family Depressariidae, and the only species in the genus Oxytropha. It was described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1898 and is found in Australia , where it has been recorded from Victoria and New South Wales.[1]
The wingspan is about 17 mm. The forewings are fuscous, irrorated with whitish, reddish-fuscous, and blackish scales and with an obscure outwardly curved transverse blackish line from the costa at one-third, not reaching the inner-margin. There are indications of two fainter similar lines between this and the base, and of five very faint parallel lines from the costa beyond one-third, all lost in the disc. There is an ill-defined blackish spot in the costal portion of the disc beyond the middle. The hindwings are pale-yellow, with a broad fuscous line along the hind- and inner-margins.[2]
