Friseria lacticaput is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in Mexico (Guerrero).[1]

The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are dark brown, with a very narrow snow-white basal patch extending across the wing, an oblique snow-white costal patch at one-fourth reaching to the fold and projecting outward on the cell, a minute white oblique costal streak at the commencement of the costal cilia, and a large snow-white semicircular tornal patch extending through the terminal cilia and sparsely sprinkled with brownish scales. The hindwings are pale purplish grey.[2]
