Lethata aromatica is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in Brazil (São Paulo, Paraná, Espirito Santo, Santa Catarina) and Colombia.[1]

The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are brownish ochreous, with some scattered black and fuscous scales, the costa narrowly suffused with dull light rosy. There is a small purplish-fuscous spot in the middle of the costa, where a faint, hardly definable fuscous shade runs to one-fourth of the dorsum. A slight fuscous mark represents the second discal stigma. The hindwingsare ochreous-grey whitish, the dorsal half suffused with light grey.[2]
