Frisilia melanardis is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1910. It is found on Borneo.[1]

The wingspan is 21-23 mm. The forewings are ochreous-yellow with some scattered dark fuscous specks. The discal stigmata are round, dot-like and blackish. In males, there is an oval glandular swelling between the dorsum and subdorsal groove in the middle. There is a suffused dark fuscous line along the upper part of the termen. The hindwings are grey, in males with a large and long expansible pencil of brownish hairs from the base of the costa lying beneath the forewings.[2]
