Peritornenta bacchata is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland and New South Wales.[1]

The wingspan is 19–22 mm. The forewings are greyish-ochreous, with rows of obscure dark fuscous dots on the veins and with the costal edge on the anterior half and three costal dots posteriorly bright rosy-crimson. There is an undefined oblique median fascia of grey suffusion, and a transverse patch from the costa at three-fourths, as well as an undefined patch of light crimson-reddish suffusion in the disc beyond the cell. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
