Idiophantis discura is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1907. It is found in Sri Lanka.[1]

The wingspan is 13-14 mm. The forewings are fuscous with a strongly-curved light leaden-bluish dark-edged line from two-thirds of the costa to the dorsum before the tornal prominence, more or less obscurely margined with ochreous anteriorly. The apical and tornal prominences, beyond this are light ochreous-yellow, with a grey-whitish streak along the upper part of the apical prominence, and some black suffusion towards the middle of the termen. The hindwings are grey.[2]
