Lecithocera strigosa is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by John Hartley Durrant in 1915. It is found on New Guinea.[1]

The wingspan is about 11.5 mm. The forewings are whitish ochreous, with an oblique fuscous-black streak, commencing on the radius near its base and then extending along the fold to the dorsum, but becoming linear from the end of the cell. There is a rather large and conspicuous fuscous-black discal spot, followed by sparse fuscous suffusion extending to the termen which is narrowly dark fuscous black, with three slight inward projections. The hindwings are pale fuscous, a slender ochreous line at the base of the cilia.[2]
