Metasia ochrochoa is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1887. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland, the Northern Territory[1] and New South Wales.[2]
The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are light yellow-ochreous, in females irrorated with pale red-brownish. The lines are cloudy dark fuscous. The first runs from the inner margin at two-fifths, becoming obsolete towards the costa and the second is slightly waved and runs from three-fourths of the costa to the inner margin at two-thirds. There is a small roundish discal spot obscurely outlined with red-brownish. The hindwings have the same ground colour and markings as the forewings.[3]
