Microcolona pantominia is a moth in the family Elachistidae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1917.[1] It is found in the Central African Republic and South Africa.[2]
The wingspan is 16–17 mm. The forewings are ochreous brown with a pale yellow basal fascia with a dark fuscous costal edge. There are four roundish pale yellow spots containing tufts and there are dark fuscous spots on the costa at two-thirds and the dorsum before the tornus, each preceded by a pale yellow spot. There is an irregular pale yellow mark before the apex. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[3]
