Voliba leptomorpha is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Turner in 1908. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]
The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are ochreous-whitish with fuscous markings. There is a basal fascia, expanded on the costa and there is also a transverse straight linear fascia, as well as a discal dot beneath the costa and a larger discal dot beneath the costa. There is a postmedian line from the costa, bent inwards to touch the lower extremity of the posterior dot, and then to the dorsum. From the upper bend it gives off a process to the tornus. The hindwings are whitish, which a slight pale fuscous suffusion on mid-termen.[2]
