Ornarantia dyari is a moth in the Choreutidae family. It was described by Busck in 1900. It is found in Florida[1] and on the Bahamas.
The length of the forewings is 6.2 mm for males and 7.7 m for females. The basal half of the forewings is brown with tan-tipped scales. The midwing has white fascia, while the apical half is mostly white. The hindwings are fuscous with tan-brown streaks. Adults are on wing in January, March and April in Florida and in July in the Bahamas.[2]
The larvae feed on Ficus species. They skeletonize the leaves of their host plant.[3]
