Platyhomonopsis is a genus of moths belonging to the Tortricidae family.[1] It contains only one species, Platyhomonopsis dentata, which is found in China (Guizhou).

The wingspan is 17–18.5 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is dark brown, with small blue metallic spots. The basal part of the costa is dark grey. The hindwings are dark grey.

Etymology

The genus name is derived from the Greek prefix platy (meaning broad) and the generic name Homonopsis and refers to the similarity with Homonopsis. The species name refers to the dent in the ventral margin of the valva and is derived from Latin dentatus (meaning dentate).[2]
