Machimia chorrera is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by August Busck in 1914.[1] It is found in Panama.[2]
The wingspan is 19–20 mm. The forewings are light violaceous brown, the basal fourth of the costa edge black. There is a small black dot on the middle of the cell and another at the end of the cell, as well as a similar spot on the middle of the fold. There is a faint series of black spots at the apical fifth, parallel with the apical and terminal edges, which are narrowly rose coloured. The hindwings are dull fuscous.[3]
