Lecithocera megalopis is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It is found in Taiwan, China (Jiangxi) and the Philippines.[2]

The wingspan is 16–17 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous-yellowish or whitish-ochreous, more or less sprinkled with fuscous. The discal stigmata are large and black, the second connected with the tornus by a rather dark fuscous shade. There is a marginal series of small dark fuscous dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are light grey.[3]
