Machimia miltosparsa is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1914.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales.[2]
The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are whitish-grey, irrorated with brick red and with pale fuscous markings. The costal edge is whitish and there is a minute dot in the disc at one-fourth, a second beyond it on the fold and a third in the middle. There is a slender dentate line from the midcosta outwards, curved to the dorsum before the tornus. There is a series of small dots on the apical fourth of the costa and on the termen. The hindwings are grey-whitish.[3]
