Chlamydastis forcipata is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1913. It is found in Colombia. [1]

The wingspan is about 23 mm. The forewings are white, sprinkled with brown and a few black scales and with brown costal spots at one-fifth and two-fifths, and a larger one at three-fourths. A small subcostal tuft of black and brown scales is found beyond the first of these and there is a brown median longitudinal streak from the base to the end of the cell, where it expands into a brown cloud surrounding posteriorly the blackish white-centred second discal stigma, the first discal stigma black, placed on the upper edge of this streak. There is a rather irregular series of indistinct blackish dots suffused with brown from the third costal spot to before the tornus, and a row of more distinct blackish dots near the termen. The hindwings are ochreous-whitish. [2]
