Lethata obscura is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in Peru.[1]

The wingspan is about 29 mm. The forewings are whitish varyingly overcast with brownish ochreous and with the costa, apex and termen narrowly deep ochreous. There is a small, purplish spot in the fold and a purplish spot at the end of the cell, with scattered whitish scales. There is also a faint, outwardly curving, transverse line from the costa at the apical third to near the tornus. There are also a few fuscous scales scattered irregularly over the entire wing. The hindwings are whitish, overcast with grey scales in the anal area.[2]
