Trophocosta nummifera is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in New Guinea.

The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are clear yellow, with scattered ferruginous-orange dots and strigula. There are three small patches on the costa at the base, at one-third and beyond the middle, mixed with fuscous and spotted with bright leaden-metallic. There is also a patch on the middle of the dorsum and a large irregular patch on the tornus and lower part of the termen reaching half across the wing. This patch is ferruginous-orange, somewhat mixed with fuscous and spotted with bright leaden-metallic. There are several small pale metallic spots towards the apex. The hindwings are grey, but rather darker posteriorly.[2]
