Moca ethirastis is a moth in the family Immidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Peru. [1]

The wingspan is 18–22 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous, the basal half irregularly strewn with pale greenish-ochreous scales, two successive darker dashes beneath the costa from the base suffusedly edged with these. A darker transverse mark is found on the end of the cell, partially edged with similar scales, connected with the costa by a suffused group, its lower extremity interrupting a pale greenish-ochreous longitudinal line from one-fourth to two-thirds of the disc. An angulated series of small groups of pale greenish-ochreous scales from two-thirds of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, some smaller and less distinct groups before the termen. The hindwings are dark grey, in males with a large expanded tuft of long ochreous-whitish hairs from the base lying beneath the forewings and spreading over the disc. [2]
