Chlamydastis scutellata is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in Costa Rica.[1]
The wingspan is 27–28 mm. The forewings are rather light fuscous, the costal half suffused with dark fuscous, irregularly and suffusedly mixed with dull olive-green, more largely on the dorsal half. There is a dorsal patch of dark fuscous suffusion at one-third. The plical and second discal stigmata are raised, transverse and dark fuscous, edged anteriorly with olive-green. There is an ochreous-whitish blotch partly tinged with brown resting on the upper part of the termen, marked near its anterior edge with a dark brown transverse spot. The hindwings are rather dark grey.[2]
