Introduction

***Technographa*** is a genus of [moth](/wiki/Moth "Moth") in the family [Lecithoceridae](/wiki/Lecithoceridae "Lecithoceridae"). It contains the species ***Technographa ephestris***, which is found in [Sri Lanka](/wiki/Sri_Lanka "Sri Lanka").[funet.fi](http://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/sci/bio/life/insecta/lepidoptera/ditrysia/gelechioidea/lecithoceridae/lecithocerinae/technographa/)

The [wingspan](/wiki/Wingspan "Wingspan") is 16–18 mm. The forewings are orange with a blackish dot on the base of the costa. There is a fascia near the base composed of two irregular dark fuscous lines mixed with leaden\-metallic coincident at the extremities. There is a similar irregular transverse line at one\-fourth, closely followed by a moderate dark fuscous fascia, narrowed on the costa and dilated on the dorsum. There is a round dark fuscous dot mixed with leaden\-metallic in the middle of the disc and a moderate inwards\-curved fascia of fuscous suffusion from about three\-fourths of the costa to the tornus, marked with a strongly inwards\-oblique leaden\-metallic streak from the costa, a dot below the middle, and a longitudinal mark on the tornus. There are also three similar longitudinal leaden\-metallic marks on the termen, and one on the costa before the apex, more or less surrounded with fuscous suffusion. The hindwings are rather dark grey with a small whitish\-ochreous patch at the tornus, above which is a hyaline groove containing a pencil of whitish\-ochreous hairs.[J. Bombay nat. Hist.
