Heliangara lampetis is a moth in the family Autostichidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1906. It is found in Sri Lanka.[1]
The wingspan is 11–13 mm. The forewings are bright shining purple coppery bronze with a suffused orange-yellow patch extending along the dorsum from one-fourth to three-fourths, narrowed to the extremities, not reaching halfway across the wing. There are two parallel thick transverse ridges of raised scales at about two-thirds. The hindwings are dark fuscous, thinly scaled in the disc.[2]
