Doina inconspicua is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by John Frederick Gates Clarke in 1978. It is found in Chile.[1]

The wingspan is 26–30 mm. The forewings are light drab, irrorated (sprinkled) with scattered greyish-fuscous scales. At two-fifths, in the cell, is an ill-defined, small fuscous discal spot and there is a similar but larger spot at the end of the cell, while a third similar spot is found on the fold. Between the end of the cell and the termen is a series of three or four small, ill-defined fuscous spots. Along the termen, to the tornus, is a series of seven ill-defined fuscous spots. The hindwings are sordid (dirty) white, the surface towards the margins irrorated with fuscous scales.[2]
