Machimia rogifera is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1914.[1] It is found in Guyana.[2]
The wingspan is about 8 mm. The forewings are light yellow-ochreons, suffused with ferruginous along the median portion of the costa. There is a slender black supramedian streak from the base to one-third, the space between this and the dorsum suffused with fuscous. There is also a large dark fuscous trapezoidal blotch extending on the dorsum from the middle to near the tornus, rather narrowed upwards and reaching across wing for four-fifths, edged with black and then with whitish. The hindwings are blackish-grey.[3]
