Cophomantella lychnocentra is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from the Northern Territory and Queensland.[1][2]

The wingspan is about 15 mm (0.59 in). The forewings are dark purplish-bronzy fuscous with a transverse-oval spot of dark brown suffusion at two-fifths and a smaller transverse yellow-ochreous discal spot at two-thirds, edged with dark suffusion. The hindwings are rather dark bronzy fuscous.[3]
