Seticosta concava is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in Morona-Santiago Province, Ecuador.
The wingspan is 21 mm. The basal area of the forewings is cream white with pale brownish suffusions between the veins. The remaining part of the wing is brown edged by a concave whitish line.

The species name refers to the shape of the posterior edge of the basal area of the forewings and is derived from Latin concava (meaning concave).[2]
