Depressaria rhodoscelis is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1920. It is found in South Africa.[1][2]
The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous with a few scattered black scales and a small blackish subdorsal mark near the base, as well as a faint fuscous median streak from the base to the end of the cell, and cloudy light fuscous lines along veins 4-8, the other veins faintly tinged with fuscous. The first discal stigma is minute and black, the second represented by a white dot surrounded by a few black scales. There is a series of small indistinct blackish marginal dots around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are light grey, whitish tinged towards the base, the apex darker.[3]
