Calliprora rhodogramma is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in Brazil (Amazonas).[1]
The wingspan is 9–10 mm. The forewings are dark purple-fuscous with a pale yellowish median streak from the base to two-fifths and a pale yellowish sinuate transverse streak before the middle. There is an inwards-oblique pale yellowish subdorsal strigula preceding a dot on the dorsum before the tornus, just beyond this a somewhat oblique pale yellowish streak reaching half across the wing and an oblique mark from the costa at three-fourths, the gap between these preceded by a short pale yellowish longitudinal mark and a faint whitish dash beneath it. There is also a purplish-leaden angulated transverse streak beyond these, the lower portion thick and resting on the termen, the upper half margined posteriorly by an angulated brown streak sending a branch to the apex of the wing, and the angle connected with the tip of the preceding yellow costal mark by a brown mark. Two oblique white wedge-shaped marks are found posteriorly on the costa partly in the cilia. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
