Lotisma is a genus of moths in the family Copromorphidae.
Copromorphidae, the "tropical fruitworm moths", is a family of insects in the lepidopteran order. These moths have broad, rounded forewings, and well-camouflaged scale patterns. Unlike Carposinidae the mouthparts include "labial palps" with the second rather than third segment the longest. With other unusual structural characteristics of the caterpillar and adult, it could represent the sister lineage of all other extant members of this superfamily. The genus Sisyroxena from Madagascar is also notable for its unusual venation and wing scale sockets.
Lotisma trigonana is a moth in the Copromorphidae family. It is found along the Pacific coast of North America, from Alaska to Costa Rica.
Lotisma vulcanica is a moth in the Copromorphidae family. It is found in Costa Rica.
