Chlamydastis orion is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Busck in 1920. It is found in Guatemala and Colombia.[1]
The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are brownish-ochreous with a suffused white patch occupying the dorsal half from the base to the middle, and extending at the base to the costa. There is an oblique dark brown spot from the costa at one-third and an irregular ill-defined dark brown postmedian fascia, obtusely angulated above the middle. A broader curved light indigo-grey fascia is found from three-fourths of the costa to the tornus, becoming narrow and blackish-grey towards the costa, enclosing a small pale bluish spot above the middle, and cut below the middle by a very acute finely white-edged red-brown wedge from a short red-brown streak along the lower part of the termen. There is also some dark brown suffusion and blackish spots around the apex. The apical and terminal edge are interruptedly marked white. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
