Brachynemata restricta is a moth in the family Oecophoridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1920. [1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland. [2]

The wingspan is 18–19 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous grey, the extreme costal edge tinged with whitish. The markings are blackish. There is a minute dot on the costa near the base, a dot towards the costa near the base and the stigmata is moderate, with the plical rather beyond the first discal spot.[ citation needed ] There is a more or less developed strongly curved series of minute irregular dots from beneath the costa at one-third, traversing the second discal stigma to above the dorsum at two-thirds. There is also a series of somewhat larger dots from beneath the middle of the costa very obliquely outwards to a point nearer to the apex than to the second discal stigma, then angulated and slightly curved to the dorsum before the tornus. A marginal row of dots is found round the apical third of the costa and termen. The hindwings are grey, towards the base paler and tinged whitish ochreous. [3]
