Comotechna corculata is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1921. It is found in Brazil (Para) and Peru.[1]

The wingspan is 9–10 mm. The forewings are fuscous with the basal third of the costa dark fuscous, cut by an oblique whitish mark at one-fourth, beneath this a yellow-ochreous streak. There is an obliquely curved suffused dark fuscous fasciate streak from one-fourth of the dorsum to this, enclosed by two whitish-ochreous streaks and with an oblique-oval medio-dorsal blotch reaching three-fourths across the wing, formed of yellow-ochreous suffusion edged with dark fuscous suffusion and then with whitish. Beyond this is a parallel whitish streak, confluent with an ochreous-whitish ring surrounding an elongate ochreous-whitish mark and a very oblique orange-ochreous striga from the costa in the middle, preceded and followed by fine white strigae edged dark fuscous. Beyond this is a whitish-ochreous elongate mark and there is a transverse silvery line at three-fourths, followed by an ochreous-whitish costal dot, as well as an oblique whitish-ochreous streak hooked beneath from the lower part of this to a silvery oblique streak crossing the wing near the apex, above this some whitish-ochreous scattered scales. There is a whitish-ochreous terminal line. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
